Dominique Burgess is a visionary educator and founder of Burbrella Learning Academy, a 501(c)(3) microschool network that is redefining education by infusing STEAM, nature, project-based learning, and play-based methodologies into nontraditional learning spaces. Through her time in the classroom, Dominique recognized that a one-size-fits-all approach to education limits the potential of many students, which led her to explore alternative approaches.

Her vision culminated in the creation of Burbrella Learning Academy, a beacon of educational innovation and choice.
