My Educational Philosophy

I believe education should be a doorway, wide open to anyone with the curiosity and courage to walk through it. Learning must be accessible to all—not limited by cost, geography, or traditional models—but designed to meet people where they are, at the edges of their ambition and dreams.

The edges of education are where the most exciting work happens—where innovation meets opportunity, where new models like open education and microcredentials reshape what learning can be. I am passionate about standing on this innovative edge of teaching and learning, helping build flexible, forward-thinking pathways that open more doors and invite more learners into the future they imagine for themselves.

Access is the foundation of transformation. When we remove barriers—whether financial, structural, or systemic—we don't just offer education; we offer possibility. Every learner deserves a path that connects their talent, their aspirations, and their potential to the wider world.

I believe the future of education lives on the edge—always evolving, always expanding, always creating new ways for people to learn, grow, and thrive. My work is dedicated to lighting those paths and helping others find their way forward.

Because when we expand access at the edges of education, we don't just change lives—we transform what’s possible for everyone.
