I think "student who also teaches," is an apt description, as I try to maintain a "beginner's mind" attitude and know, that at any given time, I am always learning, and there are always people who are far more skilled than me at any given pursuit. What I do love is to teach, to mentor, and share ideas, and I firmly believe that the student is the teacher and the teacher is the student.

THE SMALL PRINT

Non-academic stuff is free (because the academic part is what I have the most experience in and has the highest potential for actually deriving a living from).
