About Learn & Work

I'm a human-centered learning designer, strategist, and facilitator. I partner with organizations experiencing change to develop impactful learning experiences that consider all the required elements: business goals, performance challenges, learner needs, and what success looks like. 

I've contributed to the success of start-ups, higher education, large organizations, and global consultancies. Whether it’s a learning and development strategy, virtual workshop design or leadership development program, I always embed equity and inclusion practices and leverage my expertise in human-centered design, adult learning and development, and facilitation to create useful, usable, and desirable solutions. 

I'm a life-long learner with a BA in Art History from Western Michigan University and MA Ed. in Adult Learning and Development from Portland State University. I also have over 30 years of body-based training, dance technique, and performance experience, and have dedicated myself to ongoing studies related to joy, nervous system awareness, and the art and science of scent. I currently reside in Portland, Oregon on the traditional land of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have and continue to steward it throughout the generations.
