I’m honored to serve as the Lead Teacher for the KINGS TO KINGS Experience. Born in Alaska and raised in California by my grandmother, I draw strength and purpose from my own educational journey. I'm passionate about inspiring and uplifting the next generation, especially those who may feel disconnected or overlooked. As a nature lover and advocate for equity, I strive to create inclusive, culturally responsive spaces where all students—especially those with diverse learning needs—can grow and thrive. My teaching blends creativity, rigor, and real-world relevance, grounded in the Next Generation Science Standards.
