"I have an excellent rapport with my students and I believe art is the foundation for building this relationship. DeLaSalle is one of the few schools in the urban area that offers a great variety of the arts. I am thankful to be working at DeLaSalle and for the opportunity they have given me to grow in an area that is important to me."
