An entrepreneurial instructor and curriculum designer, I have 7+ years of broad program architecture and implementation experience, a Childhood 1-6 Teaching license and particular depth in diversity, equity and inclusion theory and training. I have worked at every level of educational programming, from serving as founding member of a new school, to teaching and mentoring students in private and public settings, to designing and launching an independent online course for adults on institutional racism. With a reputation for effective collaboration and communication with leadership, colleagues, and clients, I bring significant experience developing and implementing interdisciplinary curriculum across a range of subjects, proficiency in Arabic, and fluency in a wide range of technology.
