About Me

For the last five years, I split my time between working remotely in the jungles of Thailand and Myanmar as a volunteer instructor, and working as a global traveling teacher for Rustic Pathways, a teen travel company. My time in Southeast Asia ignited a strong passion for empowering people through education, and for providing access to education for all people. Last summer I worked in the sugarcane fields of the Dominican Republic, teaching English and basic public health initiatives to children and adults alike who often didn't even know how to read and write their own name. Living and working outside the United States made me acutely aware of the privilege I had growing up in a country where education was not only available, but expected for all children growing up. It is my mission as a teacher to provide the best chance for not only academic success for students, but to empower them with knowledge to propel themselves towards who they are to become. I have worked with students ranging in age from four to 52, and have only grown in my love of seeing someone progress in their understanding of the world about them, and seeing them improve upon skills and concepts they previously wouldn't have thought possible to attain.
