About

Digital learning and teaching tools have transformed education in profound ways over the last 15+ years, and I have had the privilege of developing and launching numerous products across K-16 and workforce development platforms during that time. In fact, one of my biggest achievements was attained back in the 2011/2012 academic year when we had over 350k students register for MyWritingLab. I thrive on conceptualizing, developing, testing, and validating new ideas, approaches, products, and methods. With a strong commitment to AI in education and data-driven decision-making, I am eager to contribute to innovative, cutting-edge digital projects that have a positive impact on the future of education.

I have a proven track record of driving revenue and profit growth while maintaining excellent relationships with stakeholders, partners, customers, and team members. My extensive experience includes content creation and development (both print and digital), strong financial acumen, sharp market research skills, and top-tier editorial abilities. Throughout my career, I have honed my expertise in product and operations management, focusing on developing and implementing cross-functional projects and programs. I have overseen complex initiatives requiring meticulous planning, cross-departmental collaboration, and proactive problem-solving through A/B testing and quality assurance practices. My ability to manage data-driven strategies and coordinate diverse cross-functional teams ensures alignment with organizational objectives and fosters seamless workflows.
