CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love teaching, learning, and connecting to new people through music and food. I like playing music, riding my bike, and playing capoeira. Right now I work as a teacher in elementary and high schools in Vancouver, Canada. I'm happiest outdoors when hiking, kayaking, biking, and playing frisbee.

PHILOSOPHY

Being true to myself, helping my students to reach their full potential, working to make the world a kinder, more equitable place.
