VASUMATHI LOPEZ

What drives me is the thought that, as educators, we have the ability to make a difference in the lives of young minds as we are charged with shaping the thought of every generation. We gain insight into what potential our students bring into the world, while guiding and encouraging them to use creativity and technology to bring innovation in their outlook and sustainable growth not only to themselves but to their surroundings.

My focus is to bring a balance of physical, emotional mental health with modern educational techniques into daily practices for a well rounded education
