Oahu, Hi

I am an International Baccalaureate DP teacher at Le Jardin Academy in Oahu, Hawaii. I am also the founding member of "History for Music Lovers" on YouTube (aka "Historyteachers"). In November 2011 I was privileged to speak at TEDxHonolulu and am currently co-organizing and hosting the first TEDxED event in Honolulu. I've keynoted and presented at several conferences this year and absolutely love sharing and learning. I'm passionate about art, history, media theory, design, Scandinavia, data visualization, Remix Culture, fashion, 80's music, and black licorice.
