Why I teach

I enjoy unlocking people's potential, as well as opening new doors, opportunities and experiences for students. I also love sharing ideas with young people and learning together.

Favorite Book

Bad one for me; my favorite book is usually the last one I read. I also enjoy rereading the textbooks I use and thinking of new ideas and approaches to learning.

Favorite film

Ouch! Another bad one. Movies can affect you a lot depending on your state of mind, time of life, and other factors. So, here's my list: All Quiet on the Western Front (the old B&W original), High Noon, 2001: at Space Odyssey, Thirteen Days.

Best part of being at SVC

Students, teachers, energy and more. SVC is going places and I want to help get there.
