I'm passionate about STEM education advocacy, particularly in youth and community enrichment.
I have 18 years of experience in designing and implementing programs that have proven effective in instilling a love of science in youth ages 6 to 18. I have consulted in a number of projects and panels in the past 10 years.
While I was in middle school, enduring science classes was a struggle for me as a visual and kinesthetic learner. It's not because I didn't like science, but because of the textbook- centered, and memorization-heavy approach to teaching it.

While I was in middle school, enduring science classes was a struggle for me as a visual and kinesthetic learner. It's not because I didn't like science, but because of the textbook- centered, and memorization-heavy approach to teaching it.
This experience inspired me to ensure my programs and workshops are hands-on, engaging and most of all, fun!
Throughout my career, intentional play and learning games are a constant and effective feature.
I created my first table-top game, Birdwiser Classic and self-published the now sold-out first edition of the game.
More amazing games are currently in the works.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. I completed the coursework for a Master of Science in Environmental Sciences.
I served as the inaugural Manager of Education Programs at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, managing the institute’s existing initiatives such as the BRAINYAC Program – a neuroscience research mentoring
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. I completed the coursework for a Master of Science in Environmental Sciences.
I served as the inaugural Manager of Education Programs at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, managing the institute’s existing initiatives such as the BRAINYAC Program – a neuroscience research mentoring program for high school students--as well as developing new wide-audience programming for the institute.
I also designed and launched Saturday Science, a highly interactive monthly family program that uses intentional play and interactive neuroscience activity-stations to engage families in a cross-generational learning experience.
When I'm not working, I enjoy birding, dancing to afrobeat and Bollywood, and brainstorming new ideas. I love to travel. I have been to multiple cities in 10 countries and counting. My favorite activity is spending quality time, traveling with my spouse and daughter.
I understand that each situation and needs are unique. Tell me more about what you're looking for, and I will get back to you soon with some ideas.
