About Me

I'm an instructional designer who creates learning experiences that are clear, practical, and rooted in real-world application. I help people build the skills they need to grow—and help organizations meet their goals through engaging, results-driven learning.

My background spans both the education and corporate sectors. In education, I designed and delivered instruction for adult learners preparing for their GEDs, and later spent over a decade designing engaging, accessible learning experiences that made complex ideas easy to understand. Across these experiences, I focused on building learner confidence, promoting real-world application, and driving measurable growth.

In the corporate sector, I managed customer relations and marketing projects, working closely with stakeholders to connect them with the tools and resources they needed to succeed.

Today, I bring these experiences together in my instructional design work. I design interactive eLearning experiences that are engaging, solutions-focused, and built to support real-world performance.

Outside of work, I love a good mystery, terrible dad jokes, Cleveland history, and hanging out with my good dog Nellie. I never thought I’d love bees — but they’re starting to win me over as I learn the art and science of beekeeping.
