6th and 7th Grade Science Teacher
Gender and Sexualities Alliance Advisor
Glacial Drumlin School
I am a super active person who is living the “learn something new every day” kind of life! I value honesty and integrity above all else, and truly want to inspire the next generation to build a positive, inclusive and more loving and intelligent world. I do a myriad of things: theater, dance, acrobatics, circus arts as well as volunteering within my community.
Through my life and career, I’ve seen the damage that ignorance and hate can bring to an individual as well as a community. I have a passion to end that poison. In that, I was challenged by a teacher once to “pick one thing and make a difference” and this is what I picked. My work with the Gender and Sexualities Alliance applies to me personally, as well as professionally, and my passion is genuine.
I truly LOVE my job and feel so lucky to be here every day. The work I do makes a positive impact on the world and I’m able to reach students who need connections and support. This feeds my enthusiasm about what I do and helps me to bring forth a joyful, growth-centered mindset every day, in order to inspire genuine compassion and change within our society.
