My path to instructional design has not been a straight line—and that is one of the strengths I bring to my work.
My background spans music, education, leadership, and learning design. Across these experiences, I have spent years teaching, creating, leading, and thinking about how people learn and change.
What I Bring to Learning Design
Leadership & Communication
I’m comfortable in front of a room—but leadership taught me that communication is as much about listening as speaking.
From my journey of founding The Code of Music to leading engaging educational initiatives at Gateway Academy, I've been fortunate to share ideas, inspire teams, and connect with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, this wealth of experience allows me to foster meaningful conversations, work hand-in-hand with stakeholders, and turn ideas into real actions.

Music & Creativity
Beyond learning design, my life is filled with music.
As a vocalist, composer, and educator, music taught me how voice, emotion, timing, and storytelling shape human experience. That creative background still influences how I communicate and design today.
