ENGLISH TEACHER
Summary
After a decade in the classroom, two years ago my teaching career took a drastic turn. I submitted a proposal to Redesign Challenge, a project through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which asked educators to offer solutions to problems in education. My idea was Curio, an app to help teachers discover new ideas, curate them in a personalized way, and collaborate with other educators in order to grow as professionals and to best help students. My idea was selected and I was asked to attend Innovator's Weekend (similar to Startup Weekend, but for teachers) in Washington D.C., where I created the first Curio prototype through the design thinking process. Curio was born and my teaching career took an entrepreneurial turn for the better.Since the Redesign Challenge, in addition to building Curio, I was honored as the 2016 Kentucky Teacher of the Year. In that role, I served as Teacher in Residence for the Kentucky Department of Education, co-founded multiple statewide projects including KYEdPolicy.org, Policy Together, and The Courier Journal Classroom Connections; as well as co-founded a national teacher led organization called Protect Public Ed. As Kentucky Teacher of the Year, I was accepted to the Spotify for Education Advisory Board and received an EF Education First scholarship to study the education system in Finland with other educators. Prior to being honored as Kentucky Teacher of the Year, I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Thailand and Vietnam and an English Speaking Union Scholarship to study creative writing at Exeter College at the University of Oxford. I am a contributing writer to the Atlantic and the Washington Post, among other publications and have been teaching secondary English and creative writing for twelve years.
