Educator

I hold a Master’s in Education with an emphasis on Interdisciplinary Studies and spent two additional years in graduate school to earn my certification as a school librarian. My teaching journey has taken me across the world, including Ghana, China, and Paraguay. I also had the privilege of teaching in the Philadelphia School District, where I worked with a community of resilient, inner-city students. Later, I served as a middle school librarian in Bozeman, Montana, where I continued to focus on creating inclusive, engaging learning environments. Throughout my career, I've learned that education is about more than imparting knowledge; it's about meeting students where they are, and helping them to connect, grow, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
