- Office hours are the safest venue for a question you would rather not ask in a Lab.
Recorded, over eleven years of dating in three cities, approximately two hundred first dates and four second dates — a ratio now cited in their own teaching materials as Exhibit A, not an anomaly. Holds a state debate championship title, a credential they maintain transfers directly to small talk and which the rest of the teaching team maintains does not.
Teaches conversation as a skill like any other: the two-minute silence after “how was your weekend?”, the four-draft email, the 600-word opening message. Runs the friendship, small-talk and dating Labs and administers the Final Exam’s small-talk and Reading the Room stations.
