Indy Kids Winning – 2023

Indy Kids Winning Inc. (IKW) is an independent 501 (c)(3) that fights for excellent education for all students. It was founded by the former writers of Indy K12, an EdPost Publication.

For IKW, I serve as both the Editor-in-Chief & Executive Director.

I am humbled to be part of a team of educators turned journalists who are advocates for the least of these in the world of education.

Listed below are the articles I wrote in 2023.
