Education
• University of Washington, Class of 2012. BA in Philosophy, minoring in Digital Art. GPA: 3.5 • The Evergreen State College. Computer Science major, with extra studies in English and music • Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. graduated 2006, 2nd in class (GPA: 3.95). Proficiency with all art forms. I'm a strong advocate of asking "why." This is a the key to a deeper, lasting understanding of all subject matter. If you ask the right questions under a pretense of genuine curiosity, There is no knowledge that is unattainable.
Experience
• English teacher at various location in South Korea, 2012-2015. • Pre-Engineering instructor at University of Washington, 2010. What I've found in my experience entire classes is that my effectiveness as a teacher multiplies significantly as the class size shrinks. My classes always tested well, but when I taught in small groups or one-on-one, the students truly flourished. This is a joy to see and would love the opportunity to make that happen more often.

Hobbies
I've been described as a nerd-turned-hipster. I can't say I'm fond of that description, but I also can't argue it's efficacy. I'm a very technology-centered, recent college grad with hobbies and interests to match. I make electronic dance music in my spare time (an homage to my time as a DJ in Seattle), dabble in graphic design and other digital artforms, am an active redditor, and drink more coffee than I probably should. I'm also a HUGE fan of Pokemon. The staff of some of the regional Pokemon video game tournaments know me by name. Tell your son or daughter that I challenge them to a match.
