About

I’ve worn many hats in education from farming to the French Revolution, facilitating the creation of a Montessori nature school and running an entire educational department. I’ve created a novel gifted program and curriculum for a mixed aged upper school and I’ve created winter camps, summer camps, and many other forms of learning experience in between.

            My latest project is to take my gifts, skills, and experiences on the road to schools that are exploring the boundaries of what education can be. I use unit studies to bring the student into an immersive experience so that the human within emerges and that can mean I bring my own unique curricular approach, or I bring an institution’s carefully crafted curriculum to life.

            Some of my personal passion projects have included sitting on civic and educational committees, resiliency workshops, and exploring ecological agriculture as an analogy for living in community. All this ties into what my life’s passion project really is: how do humans live and grow on Earth.
