"I love being a YoungLife leader. It's a great way to connect with students outside of the classroom. It brings me life as well as joy to everyone there. Some advice I have for high school students is to figure out who you are and what you want. If you can solidify those two things, your choices will be grounded and firm. Sure there were times where I didn't follow my own advice. I'm human and imperfect like everyone else. But as a teacher and a YoungLife leader, what I say or encourage is always ringing in the back of my head, keeping me accountable to myself, which is a good thing."

"One thing that really helps me get prepared for the big game is to just listen to music and hang out with my guys. One of my biggest role models is my dad. I am always trying to make him proud. My athletic goals for this season is to get a starting spot on varsity and help my teammates and coaches be proud, and some academic goals I'm striving for are to get A's and B's in all of my classes. One piece of advice that has always stuck with me is that you only get one shot at this game of life, so you can't let one thing ruin your day. You always have to keep pushing and trying."

“When I have a camera in my hand, I feel and I know that I can capture moments that nobody else pays attention to. Before teaching, I worked in camera sales. I was offered to teach people how to use their camera if they wanted the help. I loved that after I helped them, they would come back to me and show me the pictures they took, and it made me feel like I was a part of their journey. Before photography, I always wanted to do something with art. It wasn’t until I took a photography class in college, and that's when I realized that was my passion. Photography is my comfort zone. Photography is what I know; that's why I took the job here.”
