As I identify their learning style...

I hope to use the...

...school kids to the general public. While we enjoyed using silly skits to engage with the audience, our primary goal was always to foster enthusiasm toward science.

During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA)...

...and my JD from Washburn University School of Law. My favorite moment came when I received a scholarship to complete a semester at Oxford University where I studied the philosophy of law and modern British history.

That helped me to become a much better instructor that can understand and assess children where they are. I take...
