"There are a couple of work-related accomplishments that come to mind. During my recent annual performance review, in which my administrator commended me for being so flexible and adaptable over the last year and a half during a pandemic. The teaching staff were under immense pressure when schools went virtual and I had to help lead the way in designing new curriculum that would work for the younger grade levels. While I'm not a person that needs a pat on the back, it was very humbling to be recognized personally by them.

The second accomplishment would be the collection of comments that I've gotten from the educators that I work with on a daily basis. From my first day on the job, they've always appreciated my honesty, knowledge and friendly personality. When at one time many of the staff thought the relationship between teachers and curriculum development was more of a war, I brought a sense of peace and harmony."
