Part of my role as an educator is to provide youth direct connection with the earth and space for their curiosity to guide their learning. Youth thrive when encouraged to explore and offered scaffolding if needed.  As they apply their learning, youth often identify places in need of change and create solutions. Through this process of deepening awareness and understanding, youth discover and wonder far beyond where they began.

Imagine a living classroom whose walls are permeable to the surrounding community. Here students co-create a culture were respect, deep listening, non judgment, openness, vulnerability, inquiry, conscious communication, authentic investigation, accountability, gentle rigor, and fun guide the learning process.

With a decade and a half of teaching, guiding, & mentoring experience, I provide effective student - centered education through dynamic engagement. As I open doors and windows, to facilitating learning opportunities, students discover new pathways for growth, life skill development, and connection.
