Twenty years of building the room children walk into.
I grew up in Scotland and have taught in Catholic schools in the United Kingdom and the United States, from elementary through college.
Before that I worked in policy: on a Home Office project contributing to census development on religion and identity, at a London think tank co-authoring national criminal justice reform reports, and designing literacy interventions in pupil referral units.
