I am so excited to be working with Knowles. Their values of collaboration, innovation, inquiry, equity, teacher leadership, and many others align closely to my own. I love being a teacher, and I am excited to share my experiences as an educator with new teachers in the field. I am equally excited to collaborate with them and learn from them.”
