I have served as an educator in community, post-secondary, and online learning environments. I’ve taught language, literacy, and reading, to people of all ages (from 5 to 85) to diverse individuals and groups of individuals in NYC and Seattle, and in Arequipa and Cuzco. Additionally, I have had opportunities to visit classrooms as a guest lecturer or workshop presenter, to hold various positions on educational projects, and to work with teams or presenters to develop and lead facilitated gatherings for strategic planning or goal-oriented learning.
