My Story

My journey into education is a deeply personal one, rooted in a sacred tradition of community uplift and social responsibility that I directly benefit from. As beautiful as our world is, there is so much suffering caused by our own actions and within our power to change. The role of the educator is not to tell students what to believe, but rather to get them to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the world so they may participate in it more fully and more beautifully. Education alone will not solve humanity’s problems, but without one rooted in the best of who we’ve been and the best of who we can be, we cannot even begin to start.

I am constantly revising my “how” but I believe this will always be my “why”.
