Contemplative Science in Action


Hey! Welcome to my Personal website. 

I bring together traditional modes of meditation and contemplative thought with modern scientific methodology and psychology. My work builds and critiques evidence-based approaches to understanding why and how meditation changes people's attitudes towards themselves and others.

As an educator, scientist, and scholar I bring a depth of experience and professionalism to fostering an effective and compassionate learning community.

A few core principles I bring to all my work: 
  • Contemplative pedagogy rooted in history and the science of teaching and learning

  • Empirically focused methods built in interdisciplinary and experiential examination

  • Project leadership derived in non-profit and academic institutional knowledge 
I benefit my community through scholarship, meditation, and service.
