My Trainings & Certifications

Professional Development

Below is a list of the “formal” trainings, certifications, and programs I’ve invested in for my personal and professional development. However, I am wary of the limitations and biases of institutions as well as the role accreditation has historically played in determining who is or isn’t credible or what is or isn’t worthy of being deemed “knowledge”.

I deeply value self-study because it enables me to have ownership over and be in right relationship with learning away from the agendas of institutions. I enjoy creating my own interdisciplinary curriculum to explore subjects I’m interested in. I make it a practice to question and critique how something becomes knowledge and who gets to hold knowing. I love making connections that disrupt the illusion of separateness across different fields of inquiry. It gives me great joy to experiment and study in this wildly messy way and to share what I learn in my teachings, when the time is right.
