“I am invested in students as human beings. I like to create spaces where a student feels safe, challenged, and free to embrace their identities and intellectual capacity. I want them to leave my classroom understanding that the authentic self is a work in progress, and that a classroom can be a rowdy jam session, oral history, community center, meditation hub, if not a springboard for liberation.”

“Working with students who are excited & passionate about learning always makes wonderful things happen in lessons. If you have a deep love for singing and the process, I’m always amazed at the amount of progress that can happen in a short amount of time.”
