About

Designing learning systems with academic rigor and practical purpose

I bring together instructional design, online learning, faculty development, accessibility, and higher education leadership to create learning experiences that are clear, inclusive, sustainable, and meaningful.

A practice shaped by higher education

Areas of Practice

  • Instructional design and online learning strategy
  • Faculty development and higher education leadership
  • Accessibility, compliance, and inclusive course design
  • Learning technology implementation and support
  • Professional writing, presentations, and consulting

My work sits at the intersection of instructional design, online learning, faculty development, accessibility, and institutional leadership. I help higher education teams turn complex learning challenges into systems that are clear, inclusive, academically sound, and practical to maintain.

My path through web development, accessibility, LMS administration, instructional design, quality review, governance, and accessibility leadership has shaped how I approach the work. I understand both the individual learning experience and the institutional systems that support it.

I listen carefully, clarify the learning problem, build practical structures, and help faculty and institutions move from intention to implementation. Across courses, programs, workshops, and accessibility initiatives, I focus on work that supports faculty, removes barriers, and strengthens the student experience.
