My Students

My students are fantastic! They come from a variety of different backgrounds all over San Francisco. It's a wide mix of young people that fosters a diverse community of learning.

I have the incredible privilege of not just teaching my students important content, but developing their care for others both locally and globally.

I really believe their experience in my classroom deeply grows and molds their character in profound ways as they move towards adulthood. It is something I'm immensely grateful for and don't take for granted!

My Project

I'm lucky enough to have *most* of what I need in order to feel confident about this upcoming school year. I thankfully don't need to worry about all the little paper clips, sticky notes, and pencils anymore. There are a few extra little things that'd help me run class at full speed, though, which is where I'd love some extra help!

Pulling more from my wallet for school supplies isn't exactly the most fun.

This is where I know my friends and community would love to help. If you are willing and able, it'd be super appreciated to get your support for my class!
