I develop, edit, and manage learning content across the domains of customer education and experience, internal training and development, and formal academic training and instruction. I have a particular track record of success in education SEO.

I live for the "lightbulb" when learners see themselves achieving  the next level. That happens through learner-first strategies, clear objectives, and engaging, data-backed,  instructional design that provides hands-on opportunities for learning.
