I aim to bring laughter, empathy, and joy to every classroom.
About me
I was a terrible student. I know, I know. I see those kids in my class who are zoned out, not engaged, exhausted, annoyed by my interference, and I just get it. I think who I was as a student actually makes me a stronger teacher and educational researcher. I know what it takes to engage a kid like me. I always go by the mantra: if I’m bored, they’re bored. Then, I change it up.
I grew up in Southern California and attended a private Christian school. I had one teacher at that school that did get through to me: my English teacher. She handed me a B- on my paper, and she challenged me: “You can do better than this. You are capable of so much more than this, and I believe in you.” This changed me, and eventually, it led to my journey to education.
I got my bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in Education. As a first-year teacher, I was terrified and unprepared, but I fell in love with teaching immediately. Their struggles, their triumphs, and when I could make them laugh made my day. I knew that I’d found the dream career.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Teaching and Learning at Indiana State University. I am passionate about teaching and helping educators connect with their students in meaningful ways.
