About the store
For the past 16 years, my classroom has been the world—from the labs of Shanghai to the soccer fields of New Jersey. I'm not just a teacher; I'm an academic adventurer who’s as passionate about the rhythm of Spanish verbs and the logic of algebraic equations as I am about the explosive fun of a chemical reaction.
I’ve launched forensic crime scenes in Kuwait, built erupting model volcanoes with middle schoolers, and coached championship-winning rowing teams, all while mentoring new teachers to find their own unique spark. My true passion lies in unlocking the "aha!" moment—whether that's helping a student finally conjugate in the subjunctive mood, a fellow teacher master a new tech tool, or a runner break their personal record. I believe the most powerful learning is a whirlwind of curiosity, laughter, and hands-on discovery, and I’ve dedicated my career to designing those unforgettable experiences across the globe.Let's connect!

Teaching style
My teaching philosophy is simple: if we're not having fun, we're doing it wrong. I believe the best "aha!" moments happen when you're elbows-deep in a hands-on experiment, seeing how a chemical reaction explains why your cake rose or how physics dictates the perfect curveball. I'm all about turning complex topics into relatable, real-life experiences—because learning should feel less like a lecture and more like discovering the secret rules of the universe.
My own education history
My educational journey is a unique blend of hard science and the art of teaching. It started with a Bachelor's in Chemistry from Rutgers University, giving me a solid foundation in analytical thinking. I then earned a Master's in Educational Leadership and fortified my skills with a Certificate in School Management and Leadership from Harvard Business School Online. I'm also a certified Learning Experience Designer, which is just a fancy way of saying I love using science-backed methods to create learning that actually sticks. It’s all about building bridges between complex concepts and curious minds.
