More about me
I consider myself both an educator and educational designer and enjoy video editing, both personally and professionally for educational programs and exhibits. My educational background is in developmental psychology, cognition, human development, and education. I taught first, second and fifth grades and have also worked in public/media relations, non-profits,and as a “parent” educator sharing child developmental information and guidance over an extended period with new parents. I’m an avid reader, live to learn, and find science understanding critical to the health and survival of our planet. I love my work with people of all ages and backgrounds, and enjoy creating numerous avenues of communication—be it the web, video, a course, workshop, demo, or audio content.
