A Passion for Storytelling...
drew me to non-fiction writing in college and a Masters Degree in interactive media and experience design at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).
A true generalist, my 14 years of experience include:
- production on documentaries for HBO, NBC, and The Discovery Channel
- frontend coding for open source web applications
- media literacy and video production workshops for Grades 7-12
- educational software, data visualization, and interactive museum exhibits
I currently work as a Product Manager / UX Design Consultant in Brooklyn, NY where I continue to support creative product teams in building beautiful, user-driven products.
I also teach creative writing, technology, and ESOL classes for youth and adults.
