Teaching
I have a decade of experience as an award-winning teacher (including the Harvard University Derek Bok Certificate of Excellence and Distinction in Teaching) and I am a field leader for pedagogical and curricular innovation. I use techniques from the classroom--vibrant pair-and-shares, brainstorming exercises, and applied theater games--to ideate and facilitate workshops in strategic design.
