Work Experience
Freelance Front-end Developer
Many challenges facing society are limitations in our ability to see patterns in complexity.
I bring together insights from ecology, systems thinking, and physiology to help recognize these patterns. To that end, I use web technologies to generate insights and communicate data visually.
Chinese Medicine
Developed my private practice in Acupuncture in San Francisco. Concurrently was Associate Professor of Chinese Medicine at the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland. Pattern recognition in complex systems.
Chinese Medicine is systems theory applied to the human body. Through that lense, apparently disparate symptoms can be seen to emerge from dysfunctions in the interconnections of the system. Health is gained by reestablishing relationships among systems, organs, tissues, spirit, mind and body.

Ecological Systems Theory and Education
After Pomona College I joined Teach For America and taught Spanish-bilingual elementary school in Oakland and in the Mission district of San Francisco. To improve learning outcomes I created a program, wrote grants, and lead a team of six
teachers in integrating math, science, gardening, health and art. I immersed myself in research on learning and health. The program was so successful that I got recruited by one of the granting organizations, an ecological foundation, to
work with a wider audience. This work helped me understand the body as an ecological network. Years later, that lead me to a Masters in Chinese Medicine since its core is applied systems thinking, and pattern recognition in complexity.

Making igloos in Yosemite
In March friends and I hike up to Yosemite and build an igloo
Snowshoes, snow blade, gloves, shovel, and a ton of snow. Ready to build!

San dunes make me happy!
Nothing beats jumping off a sand dune
Just jump, the soft sand will catch you
