My Story:

Grew up Mormon in an extremely homogeneous town, but somehow I always knew there was more to the world. That kind of thinking wasn't really supported, particularly in women. I have had to search and fight to figure out and claim who I am and in that experience, have come to understand that I must help others do so as well. Our society is often a place that suppresses difference and tries to make everyone fit into a particular mold. I believe we must break the molds if everyone is to be valued. That is freedom to me.

My Ideal School is a Place Where:

Kids learn according to their abilities-not in opposition to them, are each celebrated for their special combination of characteristics, and are encouraged and supported in being the best of who they can be.
