Newington Public Schools

Being a teacher isn't just my job; it’s who I am. It is ingrained in every fiber of my being. My enthusiasm for teaching shows in my interactions with my friends and family, when I am coaching my children and their friends in recreational sports, when I serve as the Director of Camp Invention each summer and when helping my students in and out of the classroom. I am a strong believer that public education is the vehicle to prepare all children to be thriving leaders in our society. I am an individual who is poised and articulate, with an outgoing nature. I posses the superior ability to inspire learning in all students. Students have told me how much they look forward to coming to my class each day. I lead, inspire, teach and care. I consistently model a love of learning and demonstrate patience and genuine interest in my students. Theodore Roosevelt once said: ”Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” The most important thing to me is making connections with my students. Of course, I hope to foster a love of medical sciences through my interactions with my students, but I mostly want to be someone who they can count on and trust.
