About Me

I'm an instructional designer, teacher, and science communicator with nearly 20 years of experience. I'm passionate about improving the quality of online education, as I've been teaching online and designing online curricula for 11 years. I enjoy leading teams to successfully manage projects to drive profits and increase employee retention rates. In my spare time, I train scientists and veterinary medical professionals in communication techniques to increase the impact of their work.
