Please say hi!
If you’re an employer, here’s the official story: I have a BA in cognitive science from Yale and a J.D. from Harvard. After graduating from law school in 2013, I transitioned into education as a consultant, developing K-6 curriculum for Moondrop Entertainment and NextLesson and e-training for Kixal, leading projects for Launchpad Toys and the Center for Digital Storytelling, and doing consumer insight work for healthcare insight firm Brandwidth Global. Now I’m happily ensconced at Lawrence Hall, on the same floor as the chinchillas.
Some of my work is featured here:

- Don’t Think About The Glump
- NextLesson mini-lessons

Right now, I am working on the third draft of a middle-grade fantasy novel with the inspiring guidance of Gabriela Pereira at DIYMFA and writing original songs that mix the whimsy of Raffi with the lyricism of Iron & Wine (Soundcloud, Youtube). Writer-musicians who inspire me include Jennie Dorris, Josephine Cameron, and Sandra Boynton.
Some other internet cameos include:
as well as Twitter and Linked-In.
Open-minded, collaborative, interdisciplinary, or just curious?
Please say hi!
