I bring almost 15 years of teaching and curriculum & instructional leadership experience to my work as an instructional designer.
I bring almost 15 years of teaching and curriculum & instructional leadership experience to my work as an instructional designer.
Teaching in the adult classroom and leading program curriculum and instruction in challenging environments has given me a depth and breadth of insight into the process of figuring out what learners actually need, what gets in the way, what keeps them engaged, and what helps new skills stick.
I design learning experiences that are clear, purposeful, and grounded in real-world application. For me, good instructional design isn’t about putting information into a training. It’s about creating the conditions for people to learn, practice, and actually do something differently.

I design effective learning that helps people and organizations grow and solve problems.
I design effective learning that helps people and organizations grow and solve problems.
In addition to instructor-led training and interactive eLearning, I design and develop a wide variety of other learning & instructional materials, including curriculum design.
Central to my design process is ensuring a direct connection exists between learning and immediate real-world application. Creating content and learning experiences that honor the experience and autonomy of adult learners plays a crucial role in how I approach my work. I incorporate principles of design thinking and backwards design to create learning that is most effective and responsive to learner and organizational needs and goals.
