ABOUT

I started my career in engineering because I've always loved figuring out how and why things work. Over time, I found my calling in teaching others to think critically and solve real-world problems. Throughout my career across multiple countries, I’ve found innovative ways to support the diverse needs of adult learners. I love experimenting with tools and teaching approaches to find the right fit for each group and adapting based on what truly engages and benefits learners. Today, as an instructional designer and engineer, I channel that same systems-thinking mindset into creating inclusive and accessible learning experiences for adult learners.

I'm a pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys rolling up my sleeves, whether it's building a vision for our LMS, designing engaging content, or collaborating with stakeholders to align learning with business goals. I enjoy the challenge that comes from translating complex needs into scalable solutions, from branded learning portals to career-focused workforce development paths. In my current role supporting workforce development, I am driven by the belief that there's no single path to success. I'm inspired by the many people I've known who have taken the path less traveled and am dedicated to designing innovative alternatives that help others discover their own unique way forward.

Outside of my work in education, I enjoy playing alto saxophone with our community concert band, diving into a good book, exploring new hobbies, and traveling to new places!
