Welcome! I’m a creative, dynamic educational specialist and program management professional who brings global experience to my work, colleagues, and outcomes. Sixteen years ago, I jumped head-first into teaching abroad in South Korea and have been exploring new places, perspectives, and cuisines ever since. The five years I lived in and traveled throughout Asia were an immersive experience in being comfortable with the unknown; it still influences how I communicate and interact with people today. As Roy T. Bennett wrote, “You never change your life until you step out of your comfort zone; change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”My expertise includes editing and collaborative feedback, diversity and equity, learning management systems, multi-modal technology integration, and program development and management. I enjoy generating new content and devising solutions for increasing resource access and removing barriers to learning. My colleagues describe me as curious, open-minded, and focused on providing future development and growth opportunities. I have been fortunate to support students of all ages and proficiency levels through program guidance, educational opportunities, and professional development practices. I enjoy creating educational opportunities and connecting learners to those opportunities in shared capacity-building!I seek to address institutional, organizational, and educational challenges through research-backed methods and community stakeholder collaboration. Specific fields of interest include program coordination, academic editing, curriculum development, instructional design, education strategy management, and personal and professional development enrichment.
