About Me:

I am an educator from New York City. I began my career as a public school English teacher at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan. There, I founded a program called VOW Arts dedicated to engaging adolescent girls in activism through the arts. The girls’ unique method of collaborative art-making attracted the attention of numerous artists, organizations, and museums; their work was exhibited at The Whitney Museum, The Ms. Foundation, and The Kenny Gallery. The VOW Arts program, incorporated into a non-profit organization in 1998, informed my ideas about project-based learning which I later went on to research and document in my work at Teachers College, Columbia University. In 1999, I took a faculty position at the College in the Secondary English Education Program. In 2004, I began consulting for a professional development organization called the Student Press Initiative, an urban literacy program that uses curriculum-based publication projects to inspire writing for authentic audiences. My one-on-one work with teachers expanded to leadership coaching with The Asia Society’s International Studies School Network, where I am currently helping to launch new public schools with a focus on global citizenship.

I am the co-author of Becoming (Other)wise: Enhancing Critical Reading Perspectives, a TED Fellow, a DoubleTake Documentarian Institute Teaching Fellow, an alumna and lecturer at the Woodhull Institute for Young Women and Ethical Leadership, and a recipient of an Outstanding Teaching Award from Columbia University.
