Bio
Chiara Wolff
Susie’s six years in the classroom have given her an excellent understanding of the educational field and instilled a passion for continuing her education. Susie is dedicated to ensuring she is a lifelong learner and scholar. She is extremely hardworking and dedicated to her work, students, curriculum, and colleagues. Susie has taken on many creative projects and has come up with innovative lesson plans. I have witnessed her dive deep into her curriculum to make it the best it can possibly be to help ensure her students’ engagement and success. Susie is a passionate and driven educator who will do anything for her students and the people around her. Susie is always offering a helping hand or kind words of encouragement. Additionally, Susie has a calming presence, exuberates kindness, and is warm in nature. She brings enthusiasm and joy everywhere she goes. Another one of Susie’s great strengths is her patience. Susie is extremely capable and has strong leadership skills. She is a skilled problem solver, communicator and builds lasting relationships among colleagues and students. She is thoughtful in the work that she does and has proven to be a multitasker all while keeping a positive attitude. Susie has demonstrated flexibility throughout the years in an ever-changing role. Susie can adapt to many situations gracefully and conquer any task at hand. Susie is committed to her professional development. She is an ally in the fight for social justice and DEI work at her school. In Susie’s free time she has joined a group called SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity). She attends weekly meetings educating herself in ways she can contribute and help fight for social justice in schools and in society at large.
