What inspires you? I am inspired by simplicity. It could be a line in a book, or a moment in a book, something that a scholar may say in class. It’s the little things that you least expect that seem to come out of nowhere but carry so much power. That was inspirational to me.
What do you love most about LJA? I love everything about LJA! There is a uniquely, beautiful ebb and flow to LJA. We aren’t just a school, we are a community, a family, with its own heart and soul.
What is your hope for LJA scholars? My hope for our scholars is that they never lose their truth as they go out into the world and make it a much better place.
