Jade Stone
(Yes that's my real name)

This blog aims to: 1) Aid my own retention; 2) Build a writing portfolio (cuz it sure seems you can't get anywhere these days without one); and 3) Spread the good news of OD! (And spare you the tuition payments)

My background and primary interests are in Education, STEAM, community development, social and civic services, health & wellness, and global development. When I'm not sponging up everything about OD, you can find me swing dancing, traveling, striking up conversations with strangers, urban harvesting, and composing the occasional musical parody (including this video for the Exploratorium).

I welcome curiosity, comments, constructive feedback, relevant analogies, and any OD humor you care to share
