When asked about her teaching philosophy, she responded:

When my students say they want to be teachers, astronauts, chefs, doctors, even president of the United States, it brings me pride, joy, and hope for a bright future. My investment is the time and effort I give them. I believe each student has his or her own gifts, talents waiting to be tapped, cultivated, and appreciated. Our aim is not to impart our own opinion but to kindle minds. I want to be their Merchant of Hope, a guide to self-discovery, and a key to doors of learning while training them the way they should go.
