What keeps you inspired and motivated in your work as a principal? I really enjoy the Cashell community. Cashell is a special place to be. We have a great team!
What’s one thing your students or staff have taught you? Students always remind me that it’s easy to take things too seriously. Spending time with students reminds me to find the fun or humor in situations when you can.
What’s one thing you hope every student feels when they walk through your school’s doors? I hope that every student at Cashell feels cared for when they are in the school building.
What’s an interesting/fun fact that not everyone knows about you? I joined the after-school sewing club with Cashell students last year. I started to learn how to use a sewing machine! It was one of the best parts of my day!
