Quotables
*All quotables are from the interviewee
  • "All in is what comes to mind...That's what I've seen that inspires me... The ability for these schools to go all in and truly commit to being a positive campus."
  • You can love people by communicating effectively with them...by doing more one on one meetings."
  • "I believe in that...I believe in putting in the work to make sure it's [PD] specific and relevant to the people sitting there because if it's not, they will not listen or they will not get a lot out of it."
