"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men

to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them

to yearn for the vast and endless sea." -  Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Philosophy

I am passionate about education and the power it has to build self-esteem and enable people to choose a fulfilling and meaningful life path.  My most important job as an educator is to teach children how to learn, and become confident and competent explorers of this ever-changing world.
