About Me
I know firsthand the power of education and the positive impact it can have on all our lives. As an instructional designer, I’m passionate about opening the doors to my learners' life-changing opportunities.

All of this experience enables me to create thoughtful, meaningful, aesthetically pleasing, and feedback-driven learning experiences.

Outside of work, I love taking road trips across this beautiful country—especially when my destination is a National Park. I've been to 22 out of the 63 total National Parks, and I hope to one day visit all of them! As a lifelong resident of the Seattle Area, I feel very lucky to be surrounded by so much beauty every day. I'm also a huge Seahawks fan, and being at a home game at Lumen Field is one of my happy places!
