TEDx Organizers

Development and innovation

I am passionate about inquiry based teaching, ideas, creativity, art, design, writing, bilingualism, environmental sustainability and the intersection of the arts and humanities with science. I love organizing creative opportunities and systems that flatten hierarchies and provide networks for the sharing of ideas locally and globally. I also am passionate about international exchange. In 2011 I developed a sustainability curriculum as part of a fellowship to visit Rwanda to study sustainability initiatives there. I continue to be energized by partnerships that help us see opportunities for systemic change. I am passionate about the critical importance of student voices and empowering student self expression for mental wellness, self advocacy, artistic innovation, community resilience and social justice. I am also passionate about the wilderness and the wonder and joy I find surfing, skiing, and hiking with my friends and family.
