I've developed 60+ full-length courses for over 12 industries.
I design learning experiences that solve real business problems by blending proven instructional methodologies with disciplined project management. My approach is grounded in performance—every course I build is tied to measurable outcomes, whether that’s improving customer service, boosting compliance, or enhancing team communication.
Before instructional design, I was a musician and music teacher—work that taught me how to listen deeply, structure complex ideas, and adapt to the needs of diverse learners. That same curiosity drives me today. I enjoy CrossFit, learning new skills, and finding unexpected connections between education, behavior, and technology.

Oversaw end-to-end development of eLearning courses for a variety of clients. Most recently, I designed a series of onboarding trainings for nursing home workers.
I joined a team of two professionals who were aspiring to share their knowledge of luxury hospitality management to the world. As the Chief Learning Officer, I spearheaded all technical aspects of the endeavor, including course design, web development, LMS integration, branding, and contract management. We plan to launch in the summer of 2025, so stay tuned!
In early 2023, I joined St. Thomas University as an instructional designer. My role involved overseeing the creation of online courses for the Center of Professional and Continuing Studies. I was responsible for developing academic programs, faculty training sessions, and eLearning content across various sectors, including the luxury hospitality industry in South Florida.
Prior to becoming an instructional designer, I was a musician and music teacher. In fact, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Music from Rutgers University in 2020. Studying music instilled in me the discipline, work ethic, and creative mindset that I needed to become a great instructional designer and project manager. Between 2016 and 2022, I gained experience teaching music to virtually all age levels and walks of life.
