I live in South Dakota and currently work to support teachers in developing equity-oriented teaching practices. In 2013, I collaborated with several others to co-found 4Rosebud: a community organizing group focused on policy change in support of Lakota students. I currently teach Math for Elementary Teachers at a local college, but also have previous teaching experience at the elementary and middle school levels. I deeply believe in the power of organized people to effect change in policy and practice.
