I design learning experiences, curriculum, and AI-enabled tools that help educators put research into practice. I partner with mission-driven organizations to create rigorous, equitable, and scalable learning for educators, both virtually and in person.
Curriculum and professional learning
I design and facilitate learning that helps educators develop practice—not simply complete training. My work includes modular learning pathways, facilitator guides, performance assessment, STEAM, and AI-enabled opportunities to apply new learning in context.
