About

A determined and innovative educator with a passion for social-emotional learning, creativity, and social justice. I have a Master of Community-Engaged Education and Social Change from Claremont Graduate University (CGU) and pursuing a Ph.D. in Education at CGU. I ground my teaching practice and art practice in culturally responsive approaches with the hope to transform education in a way that is creative, student-centered, inclusive, and equity-driven.
