TEACHING PHILOSOPHY (abridged)

Education must be an ongoing practice for anyone engaging in movement work, which is why I incorporate it into every aspect of my work. During my years in institutional education spaces, I worked with students on improving their critical thinking skills, challenging their assumptions, and applying course material to their lives. My capacity for education grew as I began forging collaborative learning spaces outside of the classroom. Much of my work is finding ways for academic and movement leaders to learn how or gain new tools to jointly address issues within their communities.
