Personal Statement
I am an educator, deeply committed to the academic growth, well-being, and equitable education of all students. I believe learning should challenge students’ thinking while empowering them to recognize their capacity to be advocates and leaders. For the majority of my career, I served as a Social Studies teacher, grounding my work in global citizenship, student identity, and strong literacy skills that prepare students for college, career, and life. That passion for meaningful, student-centered learning continues to guide me in my role as Director of Teaching and Learning. In this role, I oversee all academic programs at Notre Dame High School San Jose and partner with faculty to support rigorous, engaging instruction across disciplines. Guided by the words of Saint Julie, I believe we are called to “teach them what they need to know for life."
