Colleen Abbott

Lead with compassion, encourage continual growth.

I have always loved learning. As a kid, I loved going to school and was always excited to discover what we would be learning about next. That's one of the reasons I love being a teacher. I get to learn something new every day and I get to grow and develop new skills.

I have also always considered myself a caretaker. I believe that this is an important part of who I am as a teacher. I believe that exemplifying compasson and empathy help me form meaningful connections with my students.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, travelling as much as I can, and going on runs/walks.
