About me

I joined Wikimedia in February 2018 — currently working on the reading experience. Previously I was designing software for K–8 teachers and students, intended to make teaching and learning more creative, meaningful, and effective. I'm interested in how people learn, both inside and outside of the classroom.

I grew up in Charlotte, Vermont. I currently live in New York City.
