What do you find most rewarding about your role at Exeter?

 

“Every conversation with a student or family member. I appreciate the genuine curiosity and wonder that Exeter students have about the world and their place in.”

“I hope my students will leave my classroom with a sense of confidence, empathy, imagination, humility, and grace. I’ll feel I’ve done my job well if they treat their own ideas and those of their classmates with care and respect; if they look for evidence and remain open to shifting perspectives; and if they feel comfortable taking creative and intellectual risks. Beyond that, I hope they’ll leave feeling that they have one more adult in their corner.”

“What I enjoy most about working with our students is their willingness to share their life experiences with me. Our students go through many ‘first experiences’ while in high school — many good and some challenging. I am honored that they trust me with both.”
