    Founder

    My calling is education! I firmly believe education is the key to unlocking the door to a new path in life. I feel it is a privilege to assist in unlocking these doors. Therefore, I provide people a person who will; believe in them, will push them, guide them to resources, understand that there are legitimate life obstacles in learning and achieving a dream. I take pleasure in creating programming that addresses those needs as well as helping people realize they are worthy of options in life to overcome these obstacles and achieve their goals.

    "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

    As an experienced educator, trainer, and learning developer, my passion for education runs deep. While working to increase access to quality education, I have uncovered an excitement for creating engaging learning experiences that are meaningful and impactful for learners. To do this regularly, I am looking forward to growing in the instructional design and learning development realm while leveraging my communication, strategic thinking, collaborative spirit, knowledge of learning, and commitment to equity along the way. This is how I will help others access and use their education to change the world, one learner at a time.

    Would love to connect with others in the learning development and instructional design realm, so don't hesitate to reach out!
