Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instruction
Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy, Arizona
I’m the Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy in the Phoenix, AZ area. We are a small, independent school affiliated with Arizona State University, committed to supporting highly gifted students. As a grown up gifted kid myself, I’m passionate about promoting long-term positive outcomes for kids, be they academic, personal, or social. In my research and practice, I am highly justice-oriented. My master’s thesis explores constructions of gender, race, and giftedness in young adult literature, and I am a constant tinkerer with my curriculum and pedagogy, seeking to bend the arc of education towards justice. Outside of work, I’m a voracious reader, lazy cook, and sometimes trail runner.
