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, helping organizations create learning experiences that truly resonate. I love turning big ideas into scalable, data-driven strategies that boost engagement and align with real organizational goals.
Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional global teams, partnering with stakeholders to design and implement innovative learning solutions that drive learner engagement, satisfaction, and success. My approach is data-informed, learner-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that every initiative aligns with organizational goals and delivers lasting value.
I thrive in dynamic environments where collaboration, creative problem-solving, and strategic thinking come together to produce exceptional outcomes. Whether launching new programs, optimizing digital learning experiences, or advising organizations on scalable learning strategies, I bring vision, structure, and momentum to every project.


"At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to transform learning through smart strategy, strong collaboration, and meaningful results."
