Nice to meet you!

I’m a learning experience designer with 10+ years of global experience in instructional design & LxD. My passions for discovery, aesthetics, and making a difference drive my work.

My background is in facilitation, blended learning, and language learning. After earning my masters in German language and education, I worked corporate learning and leadership in Europe for a few years. I eventually came back to the United States to pursue a joint Ph.D in Comparative Media Analysis & Practice and digital language learning at Vanderbilt University.

After completing my Ph.D, I returned to corporate learning and have held roles in the education, healthcare, and beauty industries.

Strategic thinking

Meaningful organizational learning can’t happen in a vacuum. I love thinking about how aligned, strategic learning drives organizational mission, vision, and values. Finding ways to achieve this alignment is at the heart of my work.
