Passion

Student learning is maximized when students feel safe, engaged with their teachers/peers, and see how their learning applies to the real world. The teaching staff at Tioga is incredibly talented and dedicated to supporting students and the Bensenville community. The teachers work tirelessly to implement a relevant and rigorous curriculum that supports the social, emotional, and academic development of their students. As a school leader, I am committed to supporting the students as they develop their social-emotional competencies and ignite their passion to learn. It is through our collective efforts that we can promote equity in opportunity, provide service beyond self, and create powerful memories for students around learning.

Passion

I am so excited to join the Tioga community!  I look forward to working with students, families, staff, and community members.  From my first day of kindergarten as a student to the day I dropped off my son, Diego, at school, I have loved the feeling that I get when I go to school!  Education is a passion for me, as I see students and teachers have a-ha moments, make memories, share smiles, and learn!  I believe that all students deserve a safe place that is nurturing and welcoming.  As a leader, I believe in being empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative.  I believe that through collaboration as a community, we can foster learning and community.
