My favorite book is Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken. It tells a beautiful story of one's search for love, faith, friendship and fulfillment. The book exemplifies a life of one who strives to live virtuously, but also identifies mistakes that can be learned from. Sheldon is a an inspiring witness one who searches for the truth, even when it requires humility, and never stops wondering and hoping, despite tragedy. 

My favorite subject growing up was math, but I also really enjoyed science and art. I loved to see the application of mathematics in the sciences as a tool to make sense of the world around us. I also loved being able to express my thoughts, emotions, and ideas in the form of art. My favorite art median is acrylic paints. 

I greatly value Ascent's pursuit of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. I love that Ascent's mission is to develop the whole person and inspire students to achieve the highest good and be all they were created to be... How dignifying! I care deeply about my students, and not just academic successful, but their whole being- mind, body, and soul. 

I love all types of games from sports to board games. I play Ultimate Frisbee competitively and my favorite board game is Settlers of Catan.
