A neuroscientist, educator, and parent, I translate cognitive science into practical learning tips for all types of students. I also work with other teachers interested in empowering their students while boosting the fun factor in their classrooms. Yes, learning ways to manage one’s attention, cognitive load, sleep, and stress can be fun! Storytelling, cultural sharing, and personal reflection foster deep learning while knitting together diverse learning communities with threads of prosocial engagement.

SYNAPSE was inspired by my background in neuroscience research, becoming operational while teaching biology, guiding student research, and running a dormitory at Phillips Academy, Andover. My full C.V. can be found below.
