Community Outreach
As a recipient of the 2020 Van Hise Outreach Teaching Award, I am committed to working with communities to support a culture of writing both inside and outside the classroom.
Thank you to Centro Hispano’s La Escalera Program, teachers of multilingual youth at East High School in Wisconsin, Kathleen Conklin of PilateSpa, Hamilton Middle School in Wisconsin, Rise Up and Write, the Young Authors Conference, Profe Isabel of expansive heart and mind in Manizales, Colombia, the magical educators of Encantapalabras in Caldas, Colombia, and bilingual educators of Madison, Wisconsin, for opening the doors of your communities to me.
And thank you to the young people who have shared your poetry with me in the languages you have inside you.
Please contact me if you have an idea for a community partnership.
