When I was a younger minifig, I was a competitive LEGO builder (think LEGO Masters before it was a thing) and even made it to the finals in LEGO Land, CA!  Now, my drive is to build social & emotional wellbeing through building LEGO.  My research and practice has recently culminated in a fusion of various LEGO based frameworks and methodologies that focus on collaborative playful learning.  I'm LEGO Serious Play certified and 1 of 4 Play Included Trainers - a program supported through the LEGO Foundation - in the US. I'm currently building a digital MOC (my own creation) of Falkor, the Luck Dragon.  Let's talk SNOT (Studs Not On Top) and BURPS (Big Ugly Rock Pieces) and build a great time!
