Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up in Silver Spring, MD, and attended college at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I earned a degree in English. I have a passion for social psychology, and I love the idea of Splash, especially since it resonates with several of my favorite books, including John Holt's How Children Learn and Milton's Areopagitica. I'm looking forward to teaching, especially this topic.
