I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. I have a BFA from California College of the Arts in individualized study and a Masters of Education from Hunter College. My experience in education ranges from teaching in a kindergarten in a traditional classroom setting in Guangzhou, China, to teaching interdisciplinary arts and educational classes in Hong Kong, to serving as program director of Backpacks and Binoculars, a school-aged childcare and educational company under the New York City Explorers Group in Downtown Brooklyn. I have been teaching at GSB since 2019. 

Studying in Jerusalem and Italy as well as living and working abroad in Asia have developed my strong interest in travel, cultural learning, and global education. My pursuit of new and challenging experiences in the world as well as my love of the arts inform my teaching philosophy and practices. I’m especially excited about designing hands-on learning experiences for my students, teaching them to think critically and to question.

I‘m happy to be a part of the growing GSB community.
