A passionate educator, I believe learners are at the center of all teaching and learning experiences. This enables communities to build the whole child together with authentic Christian educational opportunities to develop future citizens who will contribute to the well-being of the community. This, intertwined, with learner agency supported by passionate educators to scaffold the learning process is vital. Together with the empathy that overarches this thinking educational practices can be transformed. Each child has a gift and as educators we are responsible for helping our students realize that potential: ‘I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful’ Psalm 139: 14
