...study sessions I focus on fun. Activities include weekly logic puzzles and games, fallacies of the day and debate. I believe that the earlier a person can be exposed to the abstract nature of philosophy the better. I even joined PLATO. An organization aimed at the promotion and enjoyment of philosophical education.... I concentrate in logic and history of philosophy. I believe that the history of philosophy can expose people to the abundant and nuanced ideas that have spread throughout our world. I attended Hope College for my B.A. in Classical Studies where I focused on the intersections of history and mythology. While attending college, I was a Guest Lecturer for Symbolic Logic.

The students always come first. Whenever I hold study sessions, I focus on fun. Activities include weekly logic puzzles and games, fallacies of the day and debate. I believe that the earlier a person can be exposed to the abstract nature of philosophy the better. I even joined PLATO, an organization aimed at the promotion and enjoyment of philosophical education.
