About

I’m a Strategic Program Manager and Creative Trainer with over a decade of experience bridging the gap between impactful tools and instructional practices. My career has been defined by a passion for driving resource adoption at scale—not just by checking boxes, but by building creative, data-driven frameworks that improve implementation.
Throughout my journey, I’ve had the opportunity to:
* Build End-to-End Enablement Frameworks: I specialize in the full program lifecycle, from initial needs assessment to tracking the KPIs that prove a program’s success.
* Cultivate Cross-Sector Partnerships: I have designed and delivered scalable professional development to diverse stakeholders—including teachers, administrators, coaches, district leaders, EdTech companies, and community partners—across numerous school districts and multiple states, ensuring instructional strategies are aligned with organizational goals and driving broad resource adoption.
* Design High-Fidelity Resources: I love creating visually compelling digital toolkits and instructional materials that ensure messaging stays consistent across global networks while remaining user-friendly.
Lead with Innovation: As a Generation AI Fellow and a frequent speaker at conferences like ISTE, TCEA, and SXSW EDU, I am constantly exploring how AI literacy and creative tools can streamline content development, instructional delivery, and organizational productivity.

At my core, I’m a "trusted advisor" who thrives on cross-functional collaboration. Whether I'm leading training for 6,000+ stakeholders at Cincinnati Public Schools or producing video content as a social media education creator, my goal is always to empower others to perform at their highest potential.
