What is your vision as an educator?

I believe the most important factor in education is the creation of authentic bonds and human connection.  Once this bond is formed, the sky’s the limit to endless possibilities of success.  From the words of the late Rita Pierson, “Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.”  My goal is to ensure that authentic bonds and connections exist at every level of my leadership with all stakeholders. I will be your CHAMPION, so you can be a CHAMPION to others.

It is an honor to serve as the new principal of David Paterson School. I will go above and beyond in all capacities to ensure that our students succeed - because when they do, we do!!
