ABOUT ME

When I think about my role as a teacher, the one thing that I constantly have focused on is the relationships that I have built with my students. I enjoy having conversations with them on subjects and issues that are important to them, and learn how they are feeling about and experiencing the world and the material that we are studying in class.

​

I want my own classroom to be less of a class and more of a community, where we are all sharing ideas and communicating and learning from one another at the same time. This is one of the reasons why I focused on teaching middle and high school students; the maturity level of these students gives them the ability to clearly articulate their own thoughts and feelings.

​

I have a very firm belief that young people have the ability to make great changes in the world if they are given the right information and tools, and I want to help my students reach their goals in life by giving them the tools to navigate this world with culturally relevant text.
