Passionate about innovation in educational media and technology. I have a Masters of Arts in Media & Education from S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Over 15 years of experience working with children and families; I have seen first-hand the powerful and lasting effects that memorable characters and enveloping storylines have on others. I have a diverse creative and technical background which includes writing, directing and editing films and videos, developing educational content for children, and consulting on early childhood education.

My love of travel and adventure has taken me to over twenty-five countries and back-and-forth across the US many times. I use these experiences to create new stories to tell and thoughtful lessons for younger audiences. I believe that education should be fun and engaging because that is when it is most effective.

My strengths include humor, innovation, diligence, communication, teamwork and creative problem solving. When not spending hours of quality time with the Adobe Creative Suite you can find me writing short stories, building puppets or making an excellent sandwich.
