    overview
    I currently work at McLain High School for Science and Technology teaching Environmental Science. Before moving to the science department, I taught Geometry, Advanced Geometry, and Algebra II. In my classroom, I focus on increasing student agency and advocacy, encouraging students to take charge of their own educational journey. Since the 2021-2022 school year, I have actively served as the faculty sponsor for both the Class of 2023 and the Interact Club.
