Experience

Career Highlights

Fifteen-plus years of professional experience across four distinct disciplines — each one building on the last to create a uniquely well-rounded instructional design professional.

My career path has been intentional and cumulative. From broadcast television production to commercial construction management to independent consulting and instructional design — every role sharpened a skill that I bring to learning projects today. The result is a designer who understands storytelling, business, and complexity.
