I'm a learning experience designer, entrepreneur, artist, author, neurodiversity advocate, educator, and rural researcher. I live and work in St. Johnsbury, a thriving small town in Vermont's beautiful Northeast Kingdom. CliftonStrengths Talent DNA Top 5: Intellection, Input, Connectedness, Learner, Relator CareerFitter Traits: Focused, Inquisitive, Innovative, Analytical, Empathic, Decisive, Flexible Enneagram: Type 2 (The Helper), Wing 3 (The Achiever) As a learning experience designer, I leverage my experience as an award-winning college professor and SaaS training & curriculum developer. My approach to instructional design doesn't begin and end with basic curriculum, though - from first discovery point to writing marketing scripts, from community data analysis to on-set video directing/producing, I'm all in. As an artist, I work in (and teach workshops in) printmaking, historic photographic processes, community documentary, textiles, & 2D design. I also teach courses and workshops in professional practices for artists, and I mentor artists and creative producers (or people who WANT to be). My public speaking & research consultation work with the Southern Poverty Law Center, PERIL @ American University, and researchers across the globe addresses issues of political extremism and deradicalization within American politics and education. My own advocacy work focuses on stemming the tide of extremism using active pedagogical and andragogical practices (especially at the intersection of art, empathy, and curriculum design) in college, K-12, and online classrooms.
