The Self-Aware Leader
Best advice you ever received?
Don’t believe your own headlines.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I dreamed of being a professional baseball player; alas, as a freshman, at 4’11”, I was too small to be able to compete on the high school baseball team.
Favorite Quote?
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, if he wins, knows the thrills of high achievement, and, if he fails, at least fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt
One thing about your school that you are most proud of?
Although this is my first semester teaching, I know many of the instructional leaders and am looking forward to joining them as contemporaries.
