Ashley Larson

"I love being a teacher because it means I get to hang out with kids all day. I am inspired by their creativity and love for learning, enjoy their zany sense of humor, and marvel at their capacity for empathy and compassion. It is such a joy to get to know these young individuals, to see them learn and grow, and to be a part of their lives. "
