CURRENT MISSION

My current mission to work as an agent of change in Philadelphia's school system. I want to see the achievement gap closed, and I want it to start in my classroom!

ABOUT ME

I really love people and making new friends. Interests? Travel. Books. Watercolors. Knitting. iPhonography.

I graduated from college last year, moved to Philly this summer, and teach high school biology. I like to see historical sites, go to bars and get drinks, dance (this one I LOVE), and sit and paint landmarks. If you want to do any of those things together in your/my city, I'm in.

PHILOSOPHY

life is beautiful. you may, however, need to rethink beauty
