Available to hire
I am an artist, author, teacher and activist based in Chicago, focused on exploring the intersections of art, science and mathematics to help construct a new paradigm for our world. I believe in questioning reality and fostering critical thinking in a time of rapid change and challenging political discourse.
Educators must stress critical thinking and creative problem solving in an era of distance learning and social complexity. We perceive waves of light rather than solid objects, and I ponder big questions like What is Red? and What is reality? as I mentor students, artists, and communities toward resilience, curiosity, and compassionate engagement with the world.
