Historian & Educator
“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge ; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.” — John Locke
My Philosophy
In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.” Rather than limit learning to a period of one’s life, Thoreau advocated for the continual pursuit of enlightenment, a task which he believed would create better human beings.
It is with this same conviction that I hope to bring the treasures of knowledge to students, providing them the chance to discover a new passion, a different perspective, or an unexpected life path.
It is my hope that by living my passion I might inspire a younger generation to a similar journey — together we lay the foundations for our own noble villages.
