Experience Summary
I co-taught this summer's CAPSA CalArts Partnership program in Visual Arts at Ramon C. Cortinez High School. Between 2012 and 2014 I was a teaching assistant for various courses for upper level undergraduate and graduate seminars in Art, Media, Technology and Culture at California Institute of the Arts. I also co-taught a research and critique class in art and media culture for graduate students in 2013 at California Institute of the Arts. I have been teaching skill-share workshops in a transpedagogical initiative with a collaborator for the past year and a half. I have been teaching workshops at art spaces since 2009 on combined media based practices and have recently begun to include interactive electronics, light physical computing and circuit building skills into the courses.
Teaching Style
I value curiosity above all else and this is the first thing I try to encourage. No matter how charismatic an instructor is, curiosity is a skill that always survives the instructor, becoming a pre requisite for any academic endeavor the student chooses to pursue in the future.
My Hobbies
I am involved in a science fiction artists reading group. I am very interested in history, politics and technology. I do free lance electronic work for artists installations and dabble quite a bit in coding and circuit building.
