I learned a huge appreciation for education from an amazing, lifelong network of students, professors, and administrators in both public and private institutions. I believe firmly that every student is capable of learning given the attention and opportunity they deserve, and that each road of critical thinking is individual and unique. I'm thrilled at the opportunity to give back to the community that has supported me in the pursuit of a meaningful, enlightening life. I love all things reading and writing: literature and poetry, creative or technical, in English or Spanish. Books, music, and film are what I talk about in my spare time; how could I help but love to teach it?

Reading and writing fiction/poetry, rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, skiing, music (hip-hop, indie, folk), Sundance filmfest winners and the New Yorker
