Mission

I am an educator, author, and artist. I've worked with and learned from children of all abilities in urban public schools since 2009. I believe in the power of play to dismantle the long-reigning systems and rules that perpetuate exclusivity and oppression in learning environments. Play lays the foundation for all future learning, is the antidote for toxic stress and trauma, and is at the heart of social justice and educational equity in early childhood education. I envision a future for early childhood education designed for play, where it's easy for teachers and caregivers to do right by children. 

Please send an email if you're interested in collaborating, research, or hiring Play Dirt Projects on a contractual basis. Connect with me on LinkedIn, too!
