• My journey began in a Los Angeles middle school classroom where I witnessed firsthand how broken our learning systems can be – and how transformative the right solution could become.

    I remember looking out my classroom window and thinking how ironic it is that the closest skyscraper had EQUITABLE written across it when my students were experiencing the opposite of that. When I saw a student's face light up because technology+real world projects suddenly made learning accessible in a way traditional methods hadn't, I found my calling.

  • Over two decades, I've been building learning systems that work when conventional approaches fail.

    From pioneering mobile learning labs at the Smithsonian (before smartphones were ubiquitous) to creating hybrid college models at Arizona State University to developing AI-enhanced marketplaces for educators, I've consistently built solutions that bridge what should be possible with what actually works.

  • Today, I'm still creating solutions at the intersection of education, workforce, technology, and business.

    What drives me is building for what's coming next, not just building solutions for today.

What makes me different isn't just experience – it's perspective.

i’ve spent the past 20+ year years moving between classroom, boardroom, and development team to build products & programs that deliver measurable impact.

I connect worlds that rarely intersect.

I speak the languages of educators, technologists, and business leaders fluently, allowing me to translate between vision and execution.

I spot trends before they become obvious.

At the Smithsonian, I built mobile learning programs before smartphones were ubiquitous. At edsUP, I designed micro-modular, competency-based experiences while others were still focused on traditional courses.

I build real solutions for real people.

At ASU, I created a hybrid college model achieving 95% retention for first-generation students that grew to 6 sites across the country. At LRNG/SNHU, I developed microcredential pathways that connected youth to actual jobs.
