About

I design learning that actually transfers. My work sits at the intersection of cognitive science, instructional strategy, and interaction design.

I hold a Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology and bring a research-informed approach to everything from needs analysis to evaluation design. Whether building branching scenarios, designing performance support tools, or scoping a full curriculum, I anchor every decision in how people learn.
