Enrichments, 7th Grade Service

"Who wouldn't love teaching students the classes they *choose* to take?! Students arrive in enrichment classes with a vested interest, and I assume the role of facilitator. They are given choices, and they are able to take ownership of their learning. I allow them to work at their own level and pace while encouraging them to challenge themselves, branch out, and explore their own paths. It's all about maintaining engagement and promoting lifelong learning!"

Fun Fact #1 — I love traveling to new places and meeting new people!

Fun Fact #2 — I have climbed Mt. Kenya and trekked in Chile and Nepal.

Fun Fact #3 — I love going to see live music with friends, but sitting around a fire in the backyard is one of my faves too!

I choose to work at NOVA because we have the best students, families, faculty, and administration in the whole wide world!

Land Acknowledgement

NOVA is located on the ancestral lands of the Steh-Chass band of the Squaxin Island Tribe and Nisqually Indian Tribe, who have long been stewards of the region’s waters, plants, and animals. The southernmost point of the Salish Sea, these lands were—and still are—a place of gathering, trade, and community for many Coast Salish peoples. We recognize that all who are not Salish peoples are visitors here. We commit to join these peoples to share their history, build relationships, increase representation, and restore the living world around us.
