Bio:

I have been fortunate enough to work at McGillis since I was 17 years old (with a brief intermission to complete student teaching), and have gotten the opportunity to work with a plethora of amazing people in different roles during that time. I believe that learning and school should be engaging, joyful, dynamic, and fun. When not at McGillis, I love being active, reading, experiencing live music, and spending quality time with my friends and family.

 

Favorite McGillis Lunch:

Veggie Meatball Sub

 

Books I love:

Beartown, by Fredrik Backman, Shark Heart, by Emily Habeck, All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doer

 

The McGillis value that means the most to me:

Kehilah - Community is everything! The joy, support, and love that we get from one another can't be duplicated.
