I believe the key to making learning engaging and meaningful is using human-centered design principles and gathering data and feedback throughout the design process.I specialize in project management, artificial intelligence, learning engineering, training facilitation, design thinking, and strategic planning.

I am a seasoned trainer of both virtual and instructor-led training and I have worked with small cohorts of learners and also lead one-on-one coaching sessions. Using instructional and leadership coaching, I work with educators to meet their goals in ways that feel creative, balanced, and effective.Ask me about …- Writing an E.E.
