About Me

“Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda

Welcome and hello!

Connection is at the heart of all I do. My passion as an instructional designer lies in cultivating meaningful connections, understanding others, and facilitating learning. Throughout my life, both personally and professionally, I've been dedicated to connecting individuals with transformative learning experiences, be it teaching skiing, instructing German, or training adults and children. I passionately believe that the most effective learning occurs when genuine connections are forged.

My journey into Instructional Design unfolded during a deliberate career hiatus aimed at exploring new opportunities and enhancing my skill set. This field has emerged as the perfect confluence of challenge and passion, allowing me to engage with diverse adult learners across a spectrum of subjects. I craft learning experiences that resonate with learners, empowering them to take control of their own educational and professional journeys.

I am a mom of two young girls, a traveler, skier, and lover of languages. I am inspired by the beauty in nature and culture. I am a former teacher and coach, current instructional designer and an eternal explorer.
