He has an amazing way of forming relationships with the students he serves, and the students genuinely love him.

A note from her colleagues: Rachel is always willing to take on any project and help in any way possible. She usually stays behind the scenes but does so much to provide support. She deserves some recognition for all of her endurance and fortitude. We always love it when she comes for STEM down at the lower for a nice break. The kids love to have that time, too, and always appreciate "Ms. Stem."
