Prior to entering education I managed farmers markets and restaurants, published articles and podcasts in Orange County and San Diego, California.
I can not think of a more rewarding career than to help future generations develop the skills to become independent learners and empowered citizens. The first step in this process is to create educational environments that are based on mutual respect, inclusion and creativity.
“…highest goal in life is to inquire and create. The purpose of education from that point of view is just to help people to learn on their own… ”
“There’s no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.”
