Passions
Reading is one of my passions, as it offers a gateway to empathy and perspective. It allows me to explore different cultures, understand diverse points of view, and make sense of the world around me. At the same time, reading is a way for me to pause, de-stress, and get lost in stories or ideas — offering moments of quiet in an often chaotic world. As an educator, I value reading not just for its academic power, but for its ability to humanize, comfort, and connect.

Q&A with Dhara

What do you love about teaching or your role at the school?
As a science teacher, I love using the content to explore how we respond to challenges, create balance, distinguish between anomalies and paradigm shifts, and apply multiple perspectives to make meaning. Witnessing those “aha” moments when students make connections is the best part of teaching!
I’m excited to begin my 24th year of teaching, and a fun fact is that I started my career at the very high school I attended! In our class, everyone’s ideas matter, creativity is a big deal, and mistakes are just part of learning.
