About Me

I didn't come to this work through a conventional path, and that's a big part of why I'm good at it.

I was the kind of learner the existing systems weren't built for. I know what it's like to sit in a classroom and not be able to make sense of instruction that has nothing to do with who you are or what you already know. That didn't go away when I became the one teaching — if anything it made me sharper about how people actually build understanding, and gave me a real stake in designing learning that works for the range of ways people think and perform.

When I moved from the classroom into consulting, the work grew rather than changed. It moved toward decision-making, behavior change, and what actually gets people to act.

I've spent my life learning to read a room, find the gap between what's expected and what people actually know, and build something useful under pressure. That started as a way to navigate spaces that weren't inclusive of me. It became how I work.

I work the way I'd want a specialist to work with me: organized, transparent, and willing to tell you when something needs to change. I take the consulting relationship as seriously as a doctor takes a patient's.

I hold an M.S.Ed. in English Education and the CPTD® credential, with 10+ years of experience across health insurance, finance, legal, and education.
