In the classroom I break things down and built them back up to clear conceptual, contextual, and practical views. In the meditation hall, I take experiences and insights into an embodied and X place. In the lab we take hypotheses through rigorous methods or into the data. 

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: 

I benefit my community through scholarship, meditation, and service.
