I am a visionary social studies educator, classroom teacher, and curriculum developer with diverse experience engaging with secondary youth, teachers, and decision-makers. Through leadership classes at the University of Oregon and resourcing for classroom projects and site-based initiatives, I have become adept at grant writing and nurturing community partnerships within the realm of education. My passion, creativity, and ingenuity for civic engagement are evident throughout my recent professional experiences.  Presenting and writing about civics education within the humanities are among my greatest talents.
