I enjoy speaking with students and sharing what I know. I’m usually readily able to provide lectures and presentations on my special topics, or if there’s something about my work or process you’d like me to discuss, I’d be happy to pull something together.

If you’re interested in having me visit your classroom, please get in touch!
