Lodize is 100% dependable, reliable, consistent and professional. Qualities that stand out include how grounded she is and that she is a natural leader. Her relationship with each learner was very special. She genuinely loved each and every one of them, recognised their individuality and made it her purpose to know everything about each child. She was, in turn, loved by each of them. She is kind, patient and empathetic, while holding firm, but loving, boundaries. She responds to everyone, learners, colleagues and parents, with respect and openness. She is very popular. People are naturally drawn to her and she does not hesitate to jump in and support anyone who needs it.
