The Journey

“I was not a traditionally successful student. I was frequently the subject of faculty meetings where teachers attempted to understand my lack of engagement with standard assignments.”

Before becoming an educator, I was a tinkerer—frequently the subject of faculty meetings, but always building, dismantling, and exploring.

“ITP is a center for the recently possible—a place where high-tech engineering meets low-tech tinkering.”

NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program introduced me to physical computing, digital fabrication, and the maker movement—providing the framework that would define my career.
