Why do you love working in education?
I love working in education because it allows me to pursue a career I am truly passionate about—one where learning and growth are shared experiences between myself, my students, and my colleagues. Each day brings the joy of watching students discover new ideas, gain confidence, and take steps toward their goals. I find deep fulfillment in supporting them in accessing opportunities and advantages that will help them not only further themselves, but also strengthen and support their communities. Most of all, I wake up each morning with the certainty that my work makes a real difference in the lives of others, and that is both humbling and inspiring.
Why Bridge?
I chose Bridge because of its vibrant culture and strong sense of community among both students and staff. Every day, I am inspired by the commitment to growth, the joy and love of learning, and the shared drive to work harder and reach higher. Bridge’s dedication to educational equity and opportunity aligns deeply with my own values, and the sense of belonging I feel whenever I walk through the doors reminds me that Bridge is more than just a workplace—it is my motivation, my community, and my home.
