A Digital Media Creator, Author, and Anthropologist with a focus on educational content
In the 21st century, where facts and figures float in an ocean of misinformation, creating educational content is about translating concepts and ideas across cultural norms and boundaries. For more than a decade, I’ve been creating educational content in a wide variety of sectors including university classrooms, in media, and in written and visual formats.

In 2021 I co-wrote and published a book that helped redesign diversity and anthropology classrooms. The book, Build Better Worlds, used the social science of anthropology to teach worldbuilding by introducing core elements of cultural systems. Using this book I redesigned my college classrooms to foster collaborative, project-based learning where students use the knowledge they gain throughout the semester to create a fictional world of their own and help them to understand the nature of diversity and cultural systems.
