Life-long educator.

Everything in my life has drawn me to educating, facilitating, and entertaining others around me.  

Whether it has been leading kids on nature hikes, exploding chemicals in front of a large audience, or even creating educational YouTube videos, I am constantly fulfilled by any opportunity to help people understand a bit more about their world. I greatly enjoy the challenge of presenting new or difficult concepts in an approachable way, and it is so exciting to witness the “wow” moment when a person understands a concept for the first time!

Having worked as a Program Director for an informal education start up and a science museum facilitator, I understand how important it is to create meaningful experiences for people that introduce them to science and technology in a way that is applicable to their lives.  I am passionate about developing the story of knowledge, not just the history of an important figure or how a plant photosynthesizes, but how that knowledge fits into the story of the person learning it. 

I aspire to help people become well-rounded, creative, and critical thinkers by helping them make connections between what we learn and our modern world.
