I’m from Wisconsin, but now reside in New York.<\/p>\n

I have a BA from Lawrence University in Linguistics, though I also studied a lot of music and math while I was there, too.<\/p>\n

I have an MA from NYU Steinhardt in Digital Media Design for Learning (here’s<\/a>\u00a0some of what I did while I was there)<\/p>\n

I love learning about new technology and helping people implement it effectively.<\/p>\n

I also love equipping people with new skills that will serve them in the future.<\/p>\n

That’s how I ended up in the program at Steinhardt.<\/p>\n

I’m also really interested in informal learning experiences (stuff that happens outside a classroom, think: museums, parks, other public spaces).<\/p>\n

I studied Russian in college, and spent a semester in Krasnodar, Russia. My Russian’s getting a little rusty, so let me know if you want to practice.<\/p>\n

I love to tinker.<\/p>\n

I play the tuba.<\/p>\n

I also do audio theater work, which means I help build and set up and take down the sound systems for shows, and also help run the sound during the shows.<\/p>\n

I hate settling on a solution that only fixes a problem right here and right now. I want to solve that problem for the future, and for other people, too. I want to solve it for good, so we don’t have to worry about it anymore.<\/p>\n

In that same vein, even if I can’t do the job you need done, I’d still love to connect you to resources that will help move you in the right direction. I want to help you get closer to finding your solutions.<\/p>\n

As a world, we need to do a lot more connecting to other people, resources, and information, and spend less time isolated in our individual bubbles.<\/p>\n

Thanks again for stopping by,<\/p>\n
