Experience

I have over a decade of pedagogical experience in a variety of learning environments: as an instructor of record, a graduate and undergraduate classroom teaching assistant, an experiential educator leading student trips in the U.S. and abroad, a content creator and editor for exceptional educational and media brands, a one-on-one academic tutor, and an informal outdoor educator. I believe that the role of an educator is to teach students how to think by empowering them with the tools to pursue their own curiosity.
