I design scenario-based learning experiences that solve real performance problems. 23 years in the classroom taught me how people actually learn. Now I bring that to corporate L&D and EdTech.
A six-scene branching scenario for managers at a fictional tech company. Learners practice the SBI feedback model through realistic decisions with real consequences. Built with deliberate practice loop-backs so wrong answers lead to learning, not dead ends.
A Rise 360 course for corporate managers that moves beyond awareness training. Opens with a reflective self-assessment scenario, teaches four bias types through an interactive accordion, then applies them to hiring and performance review decisions.
A 6-unit technical skills curriculum designed for learners with zero prior coding experience. Bronze, Silver, and Gold challenge tiers provide differentiated pacing so every learner progresses at the right level of challenge without separate lesson plans. Directly reframeable as corporate technical onboarding.
A 90-minute cybersecurity lesson built around a fictional character named Alex with genuinely terrible digital security habits. Learners become digital forensics investigators, auditing Alex's vulnerabilities and presenting remediation recommendations. Translates directly to corporate cybersecurity onboarding.
I spent 23 years in K-8 education as a Gifted Facilitator and Technology Electives Teacher, designing curriculum that actually engaged learners. Escape rooms. Branching scenarios. Project-based units with real stakes. I just didn't have a name for what I was doing.
For seven of those years I worked as an embedded instructional coach, helping teachers across an entire district transform their practice during a 1:1 Chromebook rollout. I conducted needs analyses, designed professional development, co-taught alongside teachers, and ran observation and debrief cycles using the SAMR model. That's corporate L&D work. I just did it in schools.
Turns out, I've been doing instructional design for two decades. Now I'm bringing that experience to corporate L&D and EdTech, where the learners are adults and the performance problems are real.
I build learning experiences that treat adult learners with respect: no information dumps, no obvious wrong answers, no passive clicking through slides. Just well-designed practice that changes behavior.
I'm currently open to remote instructional design and curriculum development roles in corporate L&D and EdTech. If you're building learning experiences that actually need to work, let's talk.
