Building Learning That Goes Beyond the Basics
UNDERSTANDING THE "WHY"
My passion for teaching and instructional design goes back to a simple, everyday moment: teaching my younger brother how to buy milk at school. That experience taught me the profound impact of clear, actionable instruction. Today, that same commitment to ensuring every learner is truly prepared and can achieve their goals is what drives my work in designing effective learning solutions.
INTERESTS, SKILLS, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
This dedication to making sure people are prepared and understand, no matter the topic, also fuels my community work. I use visual storytelling and clear communication to help local organizations share their missions and connect with wider audiences.
Community Builder: I founded and actively manage a global online learning community, the 'Vegan Baking' Facebook Group, which has grown to over 90,000 members. It's a lively place where people teach and learn from each other. My efforts in the kitchen even earned me a feature on WHYY.org, Philadelphia's NPR station.
Advocacy Storyteller: I created engaging training materials for Project Home that turned complicated advocacy issues into clear, easy-to-understand lessons for their diverse audiences and volunteers (2017).
Visual Communicator: As a photographer for groups like the Peace Advocacy Network (PAN) and Buddhist Global Relief (BGR), I used my creative skills to capture key moments for their outreach and fundraising efforts (2017-2019).
