"Growing up with two relatives who were teachers and seeing their workload, being one never appealed to me. However, after having my own child and being active as a volunteer and PTA member at his school, I knew my next step was to involve myself in a school environment. IVA is a top choice as I love IVA's vision and how it aligns with my own values. Cultivating lifelong learners is important. I'm impressed that IVA encourages this because this will change how the future generation shapes the communities we live in"
