Soft Skills

Leadership

I get people excited to try new things and focus on their personal growth.

Communication

Nothing is understood right away. It takes time and feedback to get on the same page.

Creative

I love when people get excited to try something new.

Positive

I like to bring a playful attitude to serious learning.

Reflective

I understand it's important to reflect on learning, from the initial plan to where we ended up and how we got there.

Growth-oriented

We are here to grow. Failure is not an end but a beginning.

Progressive

I want to improve every year. I am excited to develop new curricula and learning experiences to make every year the best year yet.

Team Player

One of the most important things to learn is that nothing is more important than our people, students, faculty, staff and community.
