OBJECTIVE
To promote and facilitate flourishing in the lives of all who value it. My experience as a university instructor in philosophy and Germanic languages, including large-hall lectures, opened up my thinking and graced my life with a capacity for multi-perspectival reflection. Now I know that I don’t know what others might be thinking. To presume that I did know was intellectual arrogance—a characteristic I have gratefully left behind. In its stead, I bring to every environment that will have me fluency in German, reading knowledge in Yiddish and Spanish, intermediate skills in Hebrew, and a strong background in digital humanities and international relations.1
