Education

Working in the education space is easily the most rewarding - and sometimes most challenging - work I’ve ever done. As an instructor or mentor for educational programs, I am passionate about student success and often push myself to improve or cater the learning experience depending on each unique group of students. I love learning and fostering a love of learning in others - especially if it’s a topic I’m particularly passionate about.
