What excites you about VIS:
With all of my professional and personal experiences around the world VIS is a unique place where cultures and people from around the world become one unique community. It provides us all a place to be ourselves, seeing all of our students learn and blossom in front of my very eyes is something I never thought I would take so much joy and pride in. In the future as our students go on to different places and become different things I really hope my role here will have somehow impacted them in a positive way and that they may pay it forward.

Your Top Book Recommendation for kids:
Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Suess This book was given to me by my parents at my high school graduation and it is inspirational and relevant at any age. As I see our students at VIS grow, I often think to myself… ”Oh, the places you’ll go.”
