Teaching Philosophy

To be an excellent educator, one must love teaching and experience the classroom as a scared place where we are often our best selves, as we seek to learn from our students, ourselves, and the world we interact with.

My students should know

That when I was 18 I took all of my babysitting money and spent the summer traveling abroad, in Britain and elsewhere in Europe.
