Summary
My passion is helping students become the best versions of themselves, providing them with social, emotional and academic support along the way. Whether they are choosing post-secondary education or entering the workforce, I love being there to help them navigate their choice while feeling confident with their choice. My experiences at both Eden Valley-Watkins and Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School makes me feel confident in saying I have what it takes to serve the students in my home district, Albany Area Schools.
