As an educator I work to ensure my students have the opportunity to express their identity and experience hands-on education that utilizes their prior experiences. I hope to empower students to advocate for themselves and others, becoming critical thinkers, stewards of their environment.

I am a new EELCorps member this year serving at Lilley Cornett Woods.
