This summer in Malibu, CA serving as director of our summer program at Pepperdine University was nothing short of amazing! 🌊 A beautiful campus, but the real blessing was watching students come alive — inspired by LA, the electives, the field trips, and the friendships that bloomed along the way. Grateful.

Teaching at Georgetown through their pre-college institute is a highlight of my work in education.
During the Spring Semester we discussed college fit using the P.L.A.C.E. framework (program, location, atmosphere, cost, and environment) for our desired admission outcomes.

It was a blessing to present to the Georgetown University faculty and professors on the first day of the Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Summer Institute 2026. I’m over the moon. The thesis I left them with: Informal mentoring relationships are the most basic element of the organism we call the American Education System.

April 25th marked the final class of the Spring semester at Georgetown University — and I’m leaving full.
Over the past eight weeks, our students built professional resumes, engaged with industry professionals, explored healthy relationships, confronted the role of mental health in college success, and wrestled with what college fit really means for them.
They didn’t just prep for college. They started preparing for themselves.
That’s the work. That’s why I show up.
Not to open the door — but to cut more keys.

Shoutout to Chrishonna for coming through at Georgetown today to drop some real knowledge on my students 🙌 We talked red & green flags, familiarity vs. friendliness in friends and lovers, and how college opens up a whole new world of connection. We needed this one! ❤️
