I've played Pokemon since I was eight. I started writing Pokemon books and selling them online as a child. I made Pokemon "cool" as the captain of my Basketball team in High School. As an adult, I've started multiple Pokemon businesses but my main professional focus has been education. My company, StudentCircle, has taught my curriculum emphasizing independent critical thinking skills to over 500 5th and 6th graders. I am a digital nomad and regularly teach online from cities such as Rome, Athens, Lisbon, Medellin, Tokyo, etc. Last year, I competed at the World Championships of Pokemon TCG in Yokohama, Tokyo. What an experience! I am a coach and teacher. In my classes, I foster a feeling of mutual support, as we all strive to be the best we can be. At the same time as this is an idea from Pokemon, it is how I've lived and designed my own life. I try to show children, myself as an example, that they truly have limitless potential when they put their minds to something... and that's something to get excited about and strive for.
