As CARE lane facilitator I work on professional and personal development opportunities for K faculty and staff with the aim to support their goals of creating more inclusive environments in their work with students. I’ve been at K since 2014 and my favorite time of the school year is fall when the whole campus is excited to reunite and jump into the classroom. Fun fact: I find ice breakers mildly thrilling, which explains much about my teaching style.
