My teaching story didn’t begin with a decision; rather, it was a realization of something that I must have always known. I didn’t choose to be a teacher. I was meant to be one. Since the days of building neighborhood schools as a child or the countless hours I spent in my mother’s fourth-grade classroom, I have always been most myself when I am teaching. 26 years of students and 15 years of working with teachers have taught me that our most important work is human work.

It is with great passion and humility that I open up my practice here. Already, I’m looking forward to learning with you in this ever-growing classroom.
