About
Community educator helping families and adults take their first confident steps in microscopy. I curate forgiving accessories and simple sample-prep routines.
Core Beliefs
Accessible tools and clear steps turn curiosity into repeatable discovery.
Background
My favorite workshop moment was watching a nine-year-old find tardigrades with a $2 pipette, a plastic slide, and patience. We skipped fancy gear, focused on simple prep, and celebrated that first wriggle on-screen. That smile reminded me: beginner-friendly tools make wonder repeatable, and repeatable wonder builds skills.
Perspective
I choose gear with forgiving setup, low maintenance, and clear learning curves.
