Location

 

I am an oral historian, multimedia storyteller, and educator. I teach as a practicing multimedia storyteller who has facilitated dynamic community-drive oral history projects in the area since 2008.  I have extensive experience in the nonprofit sector and am the founder of Window Seat Media, a community oral history organization.  You can read more about my work on its website: www.windowseatmedia.org

Education

M.S., Folklore, University of Oregon, 2008; B.A., The Evergreen State College, 2001.

Teaching Style

Being an educator takes care, intention, and cultural humility.  I strive to create a safe, supportive learning community where multiple voices and truths can be present at the same time and where we practice critical reasoning and creative problem-solving skills, question assumptions, listen deeply, and make room for complexity and nuance.  I am especially invested in experiential learning and learning from the lived experiences of people in our families and communities.
