I think, speak, and write about designing classrooms that center student well-being and aim towards thriving. The foundation of my work is that classrooms are communities; a union of the communities that we create in them and the communities we bring to them. In addition to my work in K-12 schooling with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, I completed a Master of Arts in Education in which I studied the experience of first-generation university students. This work explored issues of belonging, identity, and well-being to answer the question of how youth from marginalized communities form student identities. Did I mention that I love technology? I love technology and the possibilities for play and exploration that it can create in the classroom. In 2019, this love of technology and good pedagogy led me to a Desmos Fellowship, which became a full-time Curriculum Developer position at Desmos Classroom (at Amplify Education).
