On a professional note
Why Whitefield:
I believe in Christian education. I believe there is no greater gift you can give a child than a strong academic education in a Christ-centered environment. Whitefield does this while offering a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. The incredible faculty pours themselves into the students in a relational manner. You could not ask for a better education for young people!
Why I love my job:
I love working in education. There is no other profession in which, when asked the question “why?” the answer is always, "for the students." I love a student-centered school and education. Waking up in the morning and knowing that you are serving the leaders of the future is both exciting and invigorating.
