Rationale
As a lifelong learner, I am hungry for knowledge and experience. I am an avid reader and I am particularly intrigued by the unorthodox strategies, unique theories, and eclectic concepts that allow me to think "outside of the box."
Originally educated in British Columbia, Canada, I moved to California in order to experience a new way of life. I also completed the California BTSA program in order to attain my Clear Credential in Music. Part of my move from Saint Mary’s College High School to De La Salle High School was to gain more experience in another Lasallian setting.
I am an active user of educational technology and am aware of developments taking place in that field. I participate in regular #EdChat conversations on Twitter. I am a frequent attendee of the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. I look forward to attending CUE and LA Congress in the coming school year to further my professional development.
See also Domain 5, Sub Domain A for my contributions as a leader to the wider Lasallian Educational Mission.
