I've been an educator for over a decade. I've had various roles from Teaching Assistant, Professor, to Educational Therapist. I've taught philosophy courses at the University of Florida. Currently, I'm proudly an Educational Therapist for the Pride Virtual Academy at Valley Ridge. If you'd like to support me, check out my dystopian novel No Place.

Moral Skepticism and Ethics
This is a great book for high schoolers and college students to learn about morality and the threat that different forms of skepticism (free will, motivation, and epistemic) pose to morality. Popular moral theories are assessed on these metrics and others. There are discussion questions throughout this book. This book is top 1,000, on Amazon, for moral philosophy.

The Value of Work
This was my dissertation on the Value of Work. It's a philosophical analysis of the concept and value of work. I discuss the different types of work, as well as defend a general conception of work. Based off this conception, I discuss the value of work and argue that work is not a necessarily burdensome kind of employment. This book is of great value to anyone, but especially students struggling to understand why they are being asked to work.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Anti-Anxiety Remedy)

Philosophical Reasoning PowerPoint (Philosophy) (Arguments)
This PowerPoint goes over the main types of arguments: deductive, enumerative induction, inference to the best explanation, and argument by analogy. There is also a good discussion on truth and the structure of statements. This would be great for high achieving middle schoolers and high schoolers, and up. I'm going to upload a worksheet to accompany this. Thank you for all you do :)

Does God Exist?
This is a special assignment designed for student's interested in their spirituality. It goes over the best arguments for and against a perfect God's existence. It is in outline/argumentative form.

It was well-received there, and will be in your classroom too :)
