Bio

I teach Latin at John Handley High School in Winchester, Virginia. I devote my leftover energy to disrupting the culture of shame and silence surrounding sexual abuse and assault.

I'm passionate about

Disrupting the culture of shame and silence surrounding sexual assault and child sexual abuse.

An idea worth spreading

The word 'victim' should never be used as a slur or insult. It simply means someone who has be harmed or injured by a crime. There is no shame in being a victim.

Areas of expertise

Motivation, Pedagogy, PTSD

The TED story

I have always loved listening to TED talks. In 2015, I realized I had an idea worth sharing and was accepted as a speaker at TEDxColoradoSprings 2015. I loved the dynamic exchange of ideas and camaraderie of the experience. I am a member of the third TED-Ed Innovative Educator cohort.

Things you might not know

golf. Honestly, it is really hard to tell I'm good at golf because of the number of tries it takes for me to get the ball in the hole.
