Facilitator
I am far more interested in facilitating moments of insight than teaching rote fact. My first teaching experiences were as a college instructor teaching Psychology, Social Psychology, and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. After I transitioned away from academia I began leading workshops on Slam Poetry for youth, local schools, and unhoused and incarcerated adults. I now work organizing curriculum oriented toward lifespan faith formation, as well as being a trained lifespan sexuality educator. Some of my most meaningful work has been in facilitating moments of learning for others.
Data Nerd
I am a strong believer that understanding the world we live in gives us the tools to make better decisions for ourselves. When we know where we spend our resources (hours, dollars, space) and we know the outcomes of those investments, we can make more value aligned choices moving forward. From individual lives to the high impact decisions made within non-profits and small businesses, I love helping create and implement data collection routines that give people the tools to make educated and well-founded decisions.
Writer and Creator
I left my stint studying in academia with a passion for creating accessibility to art and writing. After writing a thesis and collaborating on academic textbook chapters, I was hungry for creative outlets that were broader than the traditional system. I have since written and performed at many poetry events, had poems published in community-facilitated poetry anthologies, and written dozens of messages for liberal faith community audiences.
Your Biggest Fan
I believe in the power of creative people, the power of talent and and practice to create change and moments of beauty. My content writing and website work came out of a desire to help support the people around me who were doing amazing things, and getting stuck on the stumbling block of outward communication in this digital age. I believe you, all of you amazing people, should have the digital portfolios, online shops, and “Link in Bio” pages of your dreams, and I love making it happen.
“I believe that reading and writing are the most nourishing forms of meditation anyone has so far found. By reading the writings of the most interesting minds in history, we meditate with our own minds and theirs as well. This to me is a miracle.”
