About Me
Strategic Leadership in Curriculum & Learning Experiences
For more than two decades, I've worked at the intersection of higher education, professional development, and marketing and helping organizations build learning experiences that truly resonate with the people they're meant to serve.
I've led cross-functional global teams and partnered with stakeholders at every level to design and implement learning solutions that drive measurable engagement, satisfaction, and success. My approach is data-informed, learner-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practice — so every initiative I touch is built not just to launch, but to last.
I do my best work in dynamic, collaborative environments where creative problem-solving and strategic thinking come together to produce results. Whether I'm launching a new program, optimizing a digital learning experience, or advising leadership on learning strategy, I bring the vision, structure, and momentum needed to move it from idea to impact.
"At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when we collaborate, create, and educate together, we build learning experiences that empower others to reach their full potential."
