My professional and educational history
My career can be summed up by the phrase “let’s figure it out together!”. I love diving into curiosity and bringing others along for the ride, whether it be my 8th grade students at the Bush School working on their “Experiential Project” and researching everything from canoe building to social policy or my colleagues at Oracle developing new knowledge on our OPERA Cloud product through hands-on webinars.
It’s easy to get excited about something as awesome as people growing their brains before your very eyes!
