Education is the key component to bettering our society. She believes that when students are educated in a way that exposes them to the fundamental basics while progressing them into higher level thinkers, they will begin to make connections and understand how all topics relate to the building of our society as this will help prepare students to be global thinkers, innovators, developers, and builders within our world.
