want to contact me?
- If you would like me to speak at a conference, please know that I say no to most requests, as I have a young daughter and a full-time job. I'm most likely to say yes to local events, events with younger audiences, and events where my partner is paid to attend with me.
- If you'd like to report a bug or a feature request with the Khan Academy platform,
please use KA ZenDesk.
If you're still keen on sending me a message after reading that, go for it! My gmail address is exactly what you'd expect it to be 😊.
