To foster and reclaim a love of learning (both in myself and participants/students) that will last a lifetime through challenge, compassion and service. It is moments of challenge that one has the opportunity to grow and “fail forward”. Challenge is the root of all self-discovery. A compassionate spirit creates a life of inclusive work. Through my studies I have been exposed to first hand inclusion experiences, and therefore believe it is an imperative aspect of social growth.  Ithaca College has given me the tools I need to serve others and I believe that is my calling in life: to be of service.
