SHOUT-OUTS
Shout-out to Rebecca Simons
Rebecca has been such an inspiration to me and I have been so lucky to work alongside her. Her motivation and her content are always phenomnial that I hop at the chance to be her guinea pig so that maybe I can have a sneak peak of her lessons. Rebecca is always willing to go beyond expectations to break them. She isn't afraid to tread where no one dares to go even if it can be overwhelming.
Thank you Rebecca for all the work you put into your content for this college and its people.
