• Academic Advisor/Teacher

  • Aug 2016 - May 2019

  My personal mission as academic advisor/teacher is to ensure that all my students graduate on time and learn the skills they will need to be successful in the future. I try to evaluate everything I do in light of this mission. Our student population is very diverse, with many of them facing difficult challenges. I see my role as the caring adult in their lives who does never give up on them and who is always there to help. Working with our senior class in the 2017/18 school year, I increased our graduation rate from an average of nine students to more than 20, with 15 graduating on time.
