I’m a lifelong explorer of both the natural and imaginative worlds. Outside of teaching, I design and run immersive Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, often incorporating augmented reality (AR) tools to bring maps, creatures, and magical effects to life. I also enjoy building AR models and interactive experiences that blend technology and storytelling. In the natural world, I’m an avid birdwatcher and citizen scientist, contributing detailed observations, photos, and audio recordings to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology via the eBird platform. I combine fieldwork with tech-driven data analysis, tracking species, behaviors, and habitats over time. When I’m not creating fantastical worlds or observing the wild, I enjoy experimenting with innovative educational technologies, developing hands-on learning experiences, and exploring the intersection of science, creativity, and play.
