My Classes
It’s insane to me that just about a decade ago I was begging to graduate college and be done with school forever. Fast forward to present, and I have a thirst for knowledge that is one of my daily motivators. Academia wasn’t my favorite thing, but education is an invaluable piece of my life now. It’s all about being able to learn the things that interest you and drive your passion.
I love sharing knowledge and want to make the journey a little bit easier for you. All of my classes are offered on Skillshare which means one subscription gets you all my classes and any other classes from a range of instructors and subjects. It’s a great deal!
