Values

Philosophy in Action 

Values are core beliefs that orient people’s choices and behaviors. They guide individuals to make decisions while evaluating their environment. After much reflection, I have learned that my values must be reflected in every area of my life to promote my happiness and to support my community. My core values drive my daily decisions in my personal and professional life. They are the fundamental driving forces that support my foundation to become a better person and to promote a better world: Caring, Inclusivity, Drive, Commitment, Integrity, Innovation, and Respect.  

I am committed to providing accessible and inclusive support services by nurturing success through compassion, equity, encouragement, and authenticity. I built my professionalism based on a growth mindset that engages students, employees, and their families in life-long learning while maintaining an individual-centered approach to services.  

Fantasy Job

My fantasy job offers a balance between learning, challenge, and fun. It brings effective development opportunities to people, society, and the environment. I wake up every day certain that I work with a team that is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals, animals, and plants. We respect each other, value life, have fun, and accept challenges. We embrace our vulnerability as part of our growth and welcome differences. We consistently and systematically create experiences for people to explore their values, their decisions, their options, and their beliefs. We learn from each other and grow together as part of our commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and respect. We are positive people who value honest relationships built on an ethical foundation. We promote self-awareness, build trust, support each other, and emphasize team development to produce authentic citizens who are committed to the well-being of humanity and the environment. We all love our we-can-do-it spirit.
