"I hope students learn from me that it is ok to make mistakes. I hope they learn it is ok to be challenged and not know an answer right away. I hope they learn the significance of perseverance and to remember to be a good leader, good friend, and a good person."

"The thing I love about being at East Lee is really just having that underdog mentality. Just empowering our kids to experience educational success where they may not have had the opportunity to experience it yet is what I love about this work."
