Go-to school snack: Trail mix or a granola bar because it’s quick, easy, and keeps me going through a busy day.

My favorite part of the school day: In the morning when students are arriving. I love welcoming students and helping start their day on a positive note.

A student moment that always makes me smile: When a student who was once quiet or withdrawn begins to open up, say hello in the hallway, or proudly share something they are doing well.

What “showing up” means to me: Being a consistent, caring presence for students, staff, and families. I hope every student knows they are worthy of belonging, opportunity, and support, and that their voice, identity, and
future matter.
