REsume

Personal Summary

Passionate, relationship-based educator, life-long learner, and staunch equity advocate. I work to ensure those I work with feel seen, heard, and respected, while pushing for systemic change. I am driven by ideas of radical kindness, relationality, and transparency. My curiosity and academic inclinations have helped me develop a broad, widely applicable, skill set I apply to all my work.
