I've taught science, technology and mathematics for middle school, high school and undergrad students for the last 10 years. I love learning to create things that excite and engage people and get young people excited to try new things and learn to create things themselves. I believe learning should be playful and energizing; I encourage students to work on projects of their own choosing to learn new skills in a way that's playful and ambitious at the same time. I love engendering confidence and enthusiam in people to do things they've never done before and enjoy doing it.
As rewarding as teaching has been, I want to focus on my own projects now and create things of my own design. I never planned to be a teacher forever and this year I have resigned from my teaching positions and am now changing careers. I want to work with serious adults to develop serious products with the same energy and positivity that I've encouraged in my clubs and classes.
