Writing and editing are two of my favorite ways to wrinkle my brain. But I’m not about only words. I like developing new ways of communicating with images and design. brain-wrinkling. My formal brain-wrinkling happened at some wonderful places: B.A. (philosophy, minor in education) and M.A.Ed. (museum education) at the College of William and Mary, which still feels like home to me; J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law; and a certificate in infographics and data visualization from the Parsons School of Design at the New School. I’ve also taken a smattering of classes in various subjects at the Community College of Allegheny County, the University of Pittsburgh, the Art Institute (Pittsburgh and online), and the American University.
