I am an aspiring writer and teacher of writing. I am passionate about getting the voices of children hidden behind desks, out in the open, getting their stories, their causes, their ideas out, so they can talk back, and question.

 I believe,  that we will have empowered our citizens, only when they are thoughtfully literate and reading and writing towards that end. My goal is to work with teachers and students, school leaders and administrators, to give each child this opportunity, thus nurturing true democracy.
