I’m excited to see students grow, in more than just their English ability! I want to help students build up confidence in themselves, so they can share that progress with friends, and help each other grow.
I’m passionate about language. I love poetry and hip hop, learning languages, playing with sounds, and all kinds of storytelling. I spent most of my life enjoying and studying language just for myself. Now, I want to invest in the Thrive community to help people communicate and express themselves creatively.
