Learning can be uncomfortable...but it doesn't have to be!

What Does Education Mean to Me?

Whether you're a novice or an expert, the process of learning something new can be...uncomfortable, especially when we make mistakes. As an educator, I strive to foster a positive learning environment by teaching with empathy and enthusiasm and encouraging my students to embrace growth mindsets and the "growing pains".
