About

I'm a graduate of Teachers College, Columbia University where my field of study was is in data visualization and educational development. My current research and studio work focuses on developing visual and kinesthetic-based educational materials that address food security issues in agriculture/horticulture, specifically focusing on rural farmers and families. Recently, I returned from a 7-month long fellowship with the Peace Corps Response program in the Philippines where I was working as a rural land development specialist and educational developer with Cagayan State University. My work focused on producing a series of comprehensive land use maps, along with training students and faculty on various open sourced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software for research and data collection to university faculty and government officials from the Department of Natural Resources.
