  1. Do you have a favorite memory from when you were in elementary/middle/high school?
    • My favorite memories of high school were the long bus rides for away tennis matches. Getting that break to spend time with friends and decompress was something I looked forward to. 
  2. What’s a fun fact your coworkers might not guess about you?
    • Coworkers might not guess that I am very passionate about sports (especially the teams in Philadelphia)! 
  3. Share a book, movie or individual that’s had a meaningful impact on your life. In what ways has this shaped your personal or professional journey?
    • My high school AP Biology teacher, Mr. Christ, showed a way of teaching I never knew. He was very lenient, and his passion for the subject matter clearly showed. I think because of that passion and energy everyone was captured with every word he would say. 
  4. What are you most excited about this year at Saint Edward’s School?
    • I am most excited to see students create. Whether it's a performance task for the AP Comp Sci or the seventh-grade Game Design, I want to see what the students can come up with on their own once given the tools to program.
