I am an Industrial Chemist that discovered the passion for teaching. As a teacher for almost 12 years, I have taught Science and Math. I've been the Subject Curriculum Coordinator while working at Christian Nazarene Academy. I'm a passionate learner about new tools and learning strategies that use technology. It is part of my vision and philosophy that every student at our school has the opportunity to explore and grow to build their knowledge using technology. That is why, as an Academic Principal is my goal that students learn how to use technology as a tool to learn.
