I am a learning and implementation leader, instructional coach, adjunct faculty member, and educator wellness advocate with 18+ years of experience across education, professional learning, instructional improvement, systems implementation, and adult development.

My work has been shaped by years spent inside classrooms, alongside educators, and within larger learning and implementation systems navigating change, growth, and sustainability. Over time, I became increasingly interested not only in instructional quality, but in the human and organizational conditions that allow people, teams, and systems to thrive long-term.

That perspective continues to guide my work today. Whether supporting schools, leadership teams, professional learning organizations, or mission-driven partners, I am drawn to work that brings together learning science, systems thinking, implementation, innovation, and people-centered leadership to turn meaningful ideas into sustainable impact. 

Learning Design & Technology

My PhD is in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Educational Design and Learning Technologies. That background shapes how I approach curriculum, professional learning, coaching, and technology — not as separate pieces, but as connected parts of a larger learning system.

I bring together learning science, instructional design, adult learning, data-informed reflection, and technology-enabled tools to make complex work clearer and more actionable. I am especially interested in the thoughtful use of technology and AI to improve instructional clarity, strengthen feedback, streamline professional learning, and support educators without losing the human relationships at the center of meaningful learning.

Adult Learning, Coaching & Professional Growth

A major part of my work involves supporting adults as learners, leaders, and professionals. Through coaching, mentoring, facilitation, higher education teaching, and professional learning design, I help educators and teams reflect on practice, build confidence, strengthen implementation, and move forward with clarity.

I am deeply relational in how I lead. I believe adults grow best when they feel respected, supported, challenged, and connected to purpose. My strengths include translating complex ideas into practical next steps, asking thoughtful questions, building trust quickly, and helping people see both what is possible and how to get there.

Educator Wellness & Whole-Teacher Support

My dissertation examined educator emotional wellness and the organizational conditions that influence adult sustainability in education. That research continues to shape my work. I believe educator well-being is not separate from school improvement, instructional quality, or student success; it is foundational to all of it.

When educators are supported as whole people, they are better able to think creatively, respond thoughtfully, build relationships, and sustain meaningful practice. My work is grounded in the belief that strong systems should support both outcomes and the humans responsible for achieving them.

Leadership Direction

As I prepare to relocate to the Jacksonville, Florida area, I am interested in leadership opportunities where I can bring together my strengths in instructional design, professional learning, educator coaching, technology-enabled systems, literacy implementation, adult development, innovation, and educator wellness.

I am especially drawn to work that requires systems thinking, relational leadership, creative problem-solving, and the ability to build something meaningful from vision through implementation. Whether in schools, districts, higher education, nonprofit organizations, or education-focused companies, I want my next chapter to reflect the full range of what I bring: learning science, people development, strategic implementation, and a deep commitment to helping organizations thrive.
