Why you’ll love working with me

I make things that spark or re-spark the joy of learning in people. I believe everyone starts with a sense of wonder, but over time that sparkle for learning can dim.

Places like libraries, museums, nature areas and zoos are magical in helping people connect with the world. As a former teacher and a lifelong museum nerd myself, I know their allure. Through my work, I enhance learning experiences. I make hands-on materials, craft engaging and thoughtful curriculum and provide context to help guide people of all ages and abilities through these experiences to reach deeper meaning.

If you’re interested in collaborating, please email me. I’m looking forward to imagineering something spectacular with you!
