Quotables

*All quotables are from the interviewee 

  • If you can hone your resiliency as a classroom teacher and be ready to shape shift it as you move into an instructional leadership role you will have so much more confidence and clarity about what you bring to the table as a leader. 

  • Part of growing into leadership is being the courageous person that owns their current reality but does not accept it for what it is. 

  • When we find passion in what we are doing, even the hard things become easier or manageable.
