About

I’m a creator, designer, educator, and strategist working at the intersection of adult learning, instructional design, and digital equity. With a background in digital media and a foundation in community-based education, I specialize in building inclusive, tech-enabled learning systems that serve adult learners—especially those historically excluded from opportunity. My work spans onboarding programs, digital inclusion initiatives, and scalable professional development for public-sector and nonprofit teams. I’ve led the design of nationally recognized digital equity models, advised cross-sector partnerships, and helped organizations align people, platforms, and policy for real-world impact. As a doctoral candidate in Educational Technology, I bring both research and hands-on experience to every collaboration. Let’s connect if you’re working toward human-centered, equity-driven learning—especially in adult education, workforce development, or the public good.
