I am non-binary and I am an educator.//
I love working with teachers, scientists, and students to develop inclusive curriculum and support for immigrant, first-generation college-attending, and LGBT+ youth. I specialize in teaching biology & physiology, data science, and socio-emotional learning.
I love bones and fossils and amplifying hidden narratives in history. My first dig was in Cambrian and Ordovician shale when I was 10. Since then, I have documented biomechanical efficiency of gait, excavated Harvard Yard, surveyed archaeological sites in central China, and learned so much from so many. As an undergraduate at Harvard, I studied Human Evolutionary Biology and Archaeology. When I was 19, I wrote my thesis after spending a summer analyzing the skeletal pathology and nutritional biochemistry of 100+ human remains from two sites in Neolithic China, to better understand how agriculture affected diet and health.
I took a detour by getting a law degree from Boston University School of Law and by making academic law books for Oxford University Press, especially for interdisciplinary and constitutional studies, with the aim of expanding free access to journals and books. I currently teach high school science and work with other educators to adapt existing practices to invite more engagement via GenderInclusiveBiology.com.
