About Me

I'm a San Francisco native, and I've lived in China for more than two years. Nice to meet you!

At Yaxley Education in Beijing, I manage tailored training programs. Our recent projects include training wind turbine engineers across China in industry-specific English, and teaching reporters for an energy publication to write precisely about market fluctuations I enjoy this work because it gives me the opportunity to learn about many fields, in a rather personal way.

I'm also an environmental enthusiast. I'm particularly interested in the ways that environmental ideas spread through society, through both top-down policy and grassroots action.

I love traveling, good food with good friends, and events that involve costumes.

If your interests intersect with mine, drop me a line and let's connect.
