About
I am a dedicated educator and DEIB professional with a passion for fostering inclusive environments where all individuals feel a true sense of belonging. My commitment to teaching stems from a deep desire to help others succeed and to create spaces where every person, regardless of background, feels valued and supported.
Growing up as the eldest of five younger siblings, I naturally took on the roles of leader and role model, which shaped my passion for mentorship and community building. Born and raised in inner-city Cleveland, I witnessed firsthand the challenges many urban schools face—ranging from insufficient resources to systemic barriers that hinder students’ potential. These obstacles often leave students feeling powerless in circumstances beyond their control.
My goal as an educator is not only to be an effective teacher but also a beacon of hope for students navigating these challenges. I strive to show them that their story can be one of success, no matter where they come from. Through inclusive practices, thoughtful leadership, and a commitment to equity, I aim to help each of my students find their own path to success, while also cultivating a sense of community where every voice is heard and valued.
