.Get to know me

Nice to meet you!

I’m a learning experience designer with 10+ years of global experience focusing on business-oriented, data-driven, and human-centered learning experiences.

I have a Masters of Education from Loyola University Chicago and a BA in History. A keen interest in how people grow and learn led to years of international travel and positions in Abu Dhabi and Japan, where I lived for several years. My exposure to different perspectives has taught me the value of respect, communication, and flexible thinking.

In my work, I love taking information and twisting it into something meaningful and engaging. I enjoy finding new trends and creative solutions - and if I don’t know how, I won’t rest until I’ve figured it out! I value learning experiences that celebrate each learner's unique background, prioritizing simplicity, aesthetics, and user-friendliness. I’m not just creating courses; I’m customizing solutions that align your learner’s needs with your business goals.
