Teaching ethos & experience

I believe that effective classrooms are built on a pedagogy of meaningful relationship. The world changes for the better when people are empowered to empower others. And people believe they can do that when they believe in themselves.

Since 2006, I’ve facilitated teams for Apple, the La Vida Center for Outdoor Education at Gordon College, University of Colorado Boulder, and a presidential campaign with Bernie 2016.

Currently, I am a Teaching Fellow at Yale University.
