CURRENT MISSION

explore and experience

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid-back, open minded person. I have a drive to explore, and I act on it. I just graduated from University of Maine at Farmington with a Special Education degree. I love having fun and being active. I'm really nice and get along with everyone.

PHILOSOPHY

Currently, I work with kids and it is my goal to inspire them to live passionately. I hope they realize that, in order to commit themselves fully to the role of life-long learner, they must be motivated by a desire for personal enrichment. I hope they are not frightened of failure, because without calculated risks, creativity and innovation would not be possible.
