CURRENT MISSION

to learn how to sink into things, to be moved

ABOUT ME

I am a queer teacher, working to incorporate social justice & critical pedagogy into history education. I am a fan of: the woods, fancy cocktails, making food with people, hiking/walking/moving, dance parties, challenging the white supremacist heteropatriarchy.

PHILOSOPHY

i think trusting people is way cooler than not trusting people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
