Hello!

Teaming up on the water

I am happy to be on the Teampedia team.

Calvin and Hobbes playing Calvinball

My work and play has included being on teams for university and nonprofit website development, Montessori education, communication strategy, fundraising for charitable causes . . . and Calvinball! I interpret "team" broadly - my family, neighborhood, community, poets, artists, and various other identity groups are among my teams.

I'm always up for good ice-breakers and get-to-know-you-better activities. I enjoy doing art together, such asDrawing Fun, and inventing creative writing collaborations. And I love the many activities people have created to help us become appreciate our diversity. Service projects, I've found, build our teams as well as warm our hearts.

I prefer non-competitive games - for instance, I have a great time with the Teampedia activity Song Battle, but not the score-keeping variation. (I do make exceptions, such as for a rowdy Pictionary session, or Chinese Checkers when I'm winning.)

The "de-briefing" part of Teampedia activities seems especially valuable to me - I like taking time to be mindful about what an activity can teach us about living and working together better.
