What book has influenced you most?

“The Associated Press Stylebook.” In a world of evolving language norms, it’s comforting to have a pillar to guide writing decisions. A canonical text in the campaign to eradicate the Oxford comma.

What motivates you?

Fairness. Possibility. Translating complex ideas into digestible tools and products that help raise awareness about the challenges faced in schools and point toward solutions that can change children’s lives.
