Education: Whitman College, B.A. Political Science; Syracuse University, Master of Public Administration; University of Washington, Masters in Teaching
How I Got Into Education: I was leading a non-profit and did not feel in sync with the mission. We had hosted 2 recent high school graduates as interns and, in mentoring them, I realized that I enjoyed helping them learn about our work. This combination of factors pointed me in the direction of teaching.
