I teach the Tabletop Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons, both through running sessions that the kids play in, and by teaching them the rules of the game so they can run their own.

Conveniently, my greatest passions is Dungeons and Dragons, with me spending nearly every day playing, prepping for, or at least thinking about the game. D&D is very near and dear to my heart and has contributed greatly to my growth as a person, meeting friends I love, and brightening my life in a way nothing else quite does. It brings me a lot of joy to be able to share D&D with people, especially kids, who especially benefit from judgment-free self expression.

I’ve been teaching children for about 7 years, starting as a Student Instructor at Blue Dragon Martial Arts before being promoted to a paid Assistant and Teacher. I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons for almost as long, running multiple campaigns, including for the Trellis community last summer and autumn. I have also done professional work creating adventure modules for Player Hater Gaming, an independent Tabletop Roleplaying Game community.

Outside of Dungeons and Dragons, my interests include other Tabletop Roleplaying Games (Monster of the Week, Pathfinder 2e, etc.) , Video Games (especially RPGs), Music (of any genre, but especially folk, punk, and rock), and Podcasts (comedy).
