There is nothing I love more than telling stories that empower, connect, and amaze.  I have significant experience with many narrative forms, including prose, poetry, lyrics, theater, art, video, audio, games, and websites - and I am always eager to learn something new!  I specialize in crafting out-of-the-box tales that are heartwarming, quirky, and fun.

I am very passionate about bringing wonder, community, and joy to learning experiences of all kinds - from classroom to corporate.  I have designed and implemented both in-person and virtual learning experiences and have created for a variety of age groups.  My boundless curiosity, breadth of knowledge, and smorgasbord of interests provide me an excellent foundation for understanding, synthesizing, and communicating any lesson.

Though an artist at heart, I have a head for business.  I am diligent, precise, and professional; I have a strong understanding of marketing fundamentals and human psychology; and I love the challenge of finding the perfect way to connect person and product.  I am particularly talented at finding out-of-the-box, fun ways to engage an audience.  I am interested in researching the intersection of marketing and education.  I explain a marketing strategy I conceptualized based on an education theory in this presentation.

I usually watch at least two movies a week, and I have an extensive collection of them on Blu-ray and DVD!  My favorite genre is animation, but I've never met a movie I couldn't appreciate.

The magic and wonder of museums never fails to enchant me.  I am especially fond of those that focus on history - and above all, those that feature dinosaurs!

I love words and languages.  Follow me on Duolingo to see what I'm learning - and connect to ask why!  There's a story behind each language that I'm excited to share with you.
