Online & in-person geography education

I offer personalized online geography tutoring, art and mapping classes, workshops, and adaptable curricula for learners from K–12 through graduate study, as well as families, schools, universities, nonprofits, and community groups.

Personalized learning shaped around each learner’s interests, goals, experiences, and learning style.

My approach makes room for different ways of knowing, processing, and participating. We approach difficult histories and present-day crises with care, moving at a pace that supports understanding without losing sight of wonder, creativity, and joy.

  • Undergraduate
  • Graduate
  • Nonprofit

Creative explorations of place, maps, landscapes, memory, and our relationships with one another and the more-than-human world.

Through drawing, storytelling, mapping, and reflection, we honor grief, ancestral knowledge, imagination, and infinite. These classes invite learners to notice what has been harmed, what remains, and what forms of care are already making new worlds possible.

  • Sacred Geographies
  • Mental-Heart Maps
  • Before the Borders
  • Maya Philosophy
  • Volcanoes
  • Condors
  • The Old Aliso Tree

Adaptable learning experiences and materials for families, educators, schools, universities, and community groups.

Workshops connect geography with history, political education, art, strategy, ethics, spirituality, and collective care. Each offering creates space to study systems of harm while nurturing solidarity, critical imagination, and the joy of learning together.
