About

I am passionate about educating the future generation, specifically teaching the importance of being culturally diverse and developing a desire in today's youth to learn about and explore the world. I've had the unique opportunity to travel to over 25 countries, beginning at a very young age, and it shaped who I am and has definitely influenced my goals in life. I believe that everyone has something unique to offer and enjoy having conversations with my students that validate their opinions and provide a platform for discussion of key topics. I'm an educator through and through!
