Oldest Group (5th & 6th Grades) Teacher
A native of West Philadelphia, I grew up chasing trolleys and challenging neighbors to skid mark-making contests with our Huffy bikes. Experiencing firsthand the vast discrepancy in schooling available to local families sparked a passion for learning about education policy and eventually teaching. I attended Warren Wilson College, a small work college in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where I was able to experience the value of learning with our hearts and hands as well as our heads. From there, I worked on trail crews, and organic goat farms, and had many more adventures before obtaining my Master’s degree in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. I am now married to my wonderful husband, Cliff, and have two sons, Clifford and Khalil. I am an avid lover of the outdoors and love physical activity. Developing a dynamic and caring learning community and fostering student independence and community engagement are incredibly inspiring to me.
