I have a Masters in Education and a Bachelor's Degree in Social Studies and Elementary Education with over a decade in the classroom navigating difficult topics with learners. In my Master's program we worked extensively on teaching about diversity in history and the importance of representation in learning. Throughout my experience in the classroom I have created and taught many thematic units focused around the resilience, perseverance, and accomplishments of influential individuals of various backgrounds and experiences.
