Education has been my lifelong passion! I started my teaching career when I was 8, when I received my first “teacher’s set” for my birthday. Eventually, I went on to become a high school English teacher, and I've been especially focused on student-centered learning since the beginning of my career, when I taught at a project-based learning school in Sweden. Students had autonomy, were engaged, curious, hardworking, and happy to be in school - so I was hooked!

​

I'm passionate about helping to create school environments where faculty and students are excited to show up everyday, where they feel supported and celebrated, and where everyone’s having fun!

​

I hold a B.S. in Secondary Education from Penn State, and a Masters in Nonprofit Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania.

Favorite Teacher

Mr. Rines; 4th grade, because he taught us through stories about his own life, and held me to a high standard because he believed in and genuinely cared about me.
