She will complete her Master of Science in Creative Studies from the International Center for Studies in Creativity at SUNY Buffalo State in August 2018 and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management with a minor in Law from Baruch College.

Her areas of interest include education practices and environments that create self-directed learners and she is currently intrigued by unschooling, open education, connectivism, and rhizomatic learning. Her other interests include entrepreneurship education, mentoring, community building and cooperative business.
