Why I Choose to Work at Nova

As a Classicist, Nova’s model of education was a natural choice for me as an educator. I hold the teaching of grammar, logic, rhetoric, and values in high regard for learners of all ages. Nova’s community model is inspiring, and I hope to bring thoughtfulness and openness to the Great Conversation.

Hobbies/Interests

I love to read, cook, practice yoga, walk the dog, and play bass guitar.
