Learning isn't always easy; in fact it's often uncomfortable. This means it's possible to find meaning even in classes we hate or the ones we think we are bad at. For this reason, I hope to work with learners who might be uncertain about their interests and futures.

Employing visual aids is one means to help students link information, recognize relationships, and build a lasting, analytical understanding, but it is far from the only means to do so.

I am a researcher and educator. I'm skeptical of received wisdom, have made a habit of getting paid to travel around the world, and love the outdoors and reading.
