Brown University
Breakthrough Philadelphia Teacher Summer 2009 and 2010

"Breakthrough is inspiring in so many ways. Breakthrough students are complex, ambitious individuals who always make me think. The community of teachers at Breakthrough is a constant source of support, inspiration, and camaraderie. They have inspired me to keep asking the big questions and keep trying to grow as a person and teacher. Breakthrough has only added fuel to my fire to explore urban education and think about my place within it."
