I thrive at the unique intersection of pedagogy (K-12 theory) and andragogy (adult learning theory).
I translate deep curriculum knowledge into clear, tailored messages that resonate with educators, leaders, and stakeholders at every level to support transformative learning.
The Achiever
As the relatively rare Enneagram Type 3 (Achiever) I am self-assured and ambitious. I naturally excel at inspiring others, modeling excellence, and delivering results while maintaining an authentic cooperative spirit. From increasing educator engagement by 32% through professional development to presenting strategy and data that drove instructional adoption, I approach each initiative with purpose. Whether you're navigating state standards, launching a new learning platform, or integrating learning technology into training, I bring the expertise and energy to help you meet your goals, while empowering others to reach theirs. I connect into the educational ecosystem at every level from boots on the ground to bird's eye view.
Anything, Everything, and More
Growth is my constant companion. I’m the kind of person who learns every plant in the yard by name. My Learner strength drives me to chase new challenges, for example, gamifying human impact in Appalachia through a board game, perfecting the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe, improvising on the mandolin, or exploring novel technologies in unexpected ways. From troubleshooting LMS glitches to playing garden detective, I show up ready, resilient, and always eager to grow.
Let's get back to business.
