Your Instructor
I've worked behind the camera in film & TV. I've studied philosophy, computer science, psychology, counseling, peer education, and tackling online racism. I've sold computer hardware and medical equipment, I've been a marriage celebrant, a photographer, a volunteer peer educator and counselor, and now Dungeon Master. I've built online and face to face communities and parented an extra spicy kid.
I've discovered my own ADHD and neurodivergence, and done a deep dive into learning about myself, and my people, so that I can now advocate for safer homes, schools, and communities for our next generation of spicy kids. I connect people, I make spaces safe, and I help kids to find the joy of stepping out of safety and into exploration and growth.
Now I am sharing what I have learned and building communities of empowered and connected kids and families, to face the future with the tools they need to succeed.
