Why I enjoy teaching in DHMP
I enjoy teaching in DMHP because it allows me to work with students who have great potential. One of the most rewarding parts of being a teacher is seeing students realize the potential they possess and then working with them to turn that potential into the achievement of their goals. I also greatly enjoy seeing the meaningful relationships that students create through their involvement in DMHP.

Why I enjoy teaching in DHMP
I could not be more thrilled to teach in the DMHP program. The students have amazed me with their courage, determination, and humility. Their insightful comments during class make the class so much fun. Outside of class, though, is where DMHP students really shine. I love getting to hear their dreams and goals and see how motivated they are to achieve them. Above all, though, I love getting to build relationships with these amazing students!
