What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can facilitate student-led, ethically grounded learning—building strong relationships, using Socratic dialogue and SEL, and collaborating on curriculum development that supports leadership and holistic well-being.

I’m a holistic educator and coach/teacher with a decade of experience across diverse learning environments, specializing in student-led emergent curriculum. I bring a strong relationship-based approach—supporting international learners of all ages and abilities through mentorship, leadership development, and student-centered dialogue.

In my current role as a Program Facilitator for international learners (ages 8–15), I work with teams to solve complex problems ethically and collaboratively, facilitating Socratic dialogue and simulation-based problem-solving. I’ve also built community at scale through the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Scholars Weekend and have designed and taught interdisciplinary humanities, philosophy, and environmental ethics—grounded in SEL, mindfulness, and project-based, place-based learning.
