I am currently working as a Design and Technology Fellow for NuVu Studio, an innovation school in Cambridge, MA. As a Fellow, I am stationed at one of NuVu's partner schools in Wichita, KS where I implement NuVu's pedagogy of creative, hands-on project-based learning with elementary school students. I design studios, create curriculum, and run the studios at my school.
