I was led to teaching from a sincere desire to release children from systemic and institutional oppression. As my career developed I narrowed my focus of influence to supporting future educators as a way to meet this aim. My chief concern is creating a curriculum culture that liberates, rather than controls students.
I spend my free time with my family; I love to walk and spend time outdoors. I adore British murder mysteries and binge-watch them on Netflix during school breaks!
