Why I Work with Children
I love helping students grow into independent critical thinkers who are able to advocate for themselves and for others in their communities.
A Favorite Book
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I love that this book tackles a difficult current issue with nuance and honesty and shows the power of using your voice, even when you think people might not listen.
