About Me

The COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 brought my 20 year IT career to an end. I had to step away from the workforce to focus on my health and in doing so ignited a new passion of understanding the human condition in all of its aspects. Now I am a social sciences undergraduate, returning to academia after a decades-long hiatus, independent researcher, and educator.

Bringing together the lessons I learned as federal government project manager, the experiences gained over 40+ years of life, and passion for life-long learning, I began to deepen the understanding I had in my studies by sharing my new knowledge on social media. After building a moderately-successful channel on TikTok I decided go deeper and expand my regular offerings. Out of that, this site was born.
