A once twenty-something-year-old, I never imagined that reading used-bookstore classics and writing in scrappy notebooks would lead me to adult upgrading and on to an undergraduate, post-graduate, and now master’s (in progress). Yet here I am, looking back on an unlikely journey, feeling like I just pulled off a great heist, waiting to get busted. Going back to school didn’t just transform my academic life, it made me a better human and offered a new future. My studies have led me on many travels, and I've since been to almost two dozen countries across the world. My research interests include adult education theory; educational reform; political philosophy; power, authority, and autonomy; social justice; and critical inquiry education.
So why do I teach? Well, my job is to learn from others as they talk about great books, crack jokes, circle around the life-topic of the day, and solve the world’s math problems. What’s not to like?
