Making connections is central to a teacher's role. But too often, there is not enough space to plan and collaborate. I create the space for productive risk-taking and organic collaborations that result in more holistic learning experiences.

Decisions about what must be learned are challenging to make in a vacuum, and it's tempting to rely on "the way it's always been done". I inject a healthy dose of fresh perspective and asking challenging questions, helping to push curriculum to be more meaningful.

Expanding the different motivating factors by making connections to other content, to concepts, to competencies, to careers, etc., students can learn to find meaning in their assignments.

EdTech is a booming field. As a fellow bootstrapped entrepreneur, I advise founders on strategy within the education system as well as strategy on the design of experiences for learning, offering my perspective as both a teacher and a researcher.

I help curriculum designers create learning experiences that not only address the standards but make them relevant, address students holistically, and leave room for teacher creativity.

Brilliant discoveries are made in classrooms and laboratories every day, and yet the communication channels between the two are strained. I advise researchers on promising educational interventions and on the constraints of the classroom.
