Ask better questions.
Before designing a solution, make sure you're solving the right problem.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
Curious by nature.
Intentional by design.
I believe the best work starts with a question, gets better through collaboration, and matters because something actually changes.
LEARNING
PRODUCT
PEOPLE
CHANGE.
01 / WHAT DRIVES ME
I care about the why before the what.
I've spent my career helping people learn, grow, and do things they couldn't do before.
But I don't believe the answer to every problem is more training. Sometimes the real issue is an unclear process, a product that isn't working for its users, or a team that doesn't have what it needs to succeed.
So I ask questions. I listen. I look at the evidence. Then I work with people to build something better.
That approach has taken me from teaching in classrooms to leading curriculum and product transformations, coaching distributed teams, and creating new tools with AI. The setting changes. The questions that matter don't.
02 / HOW I LEAD
High standards.
Room to think.
I don't believe I have to be the smartest person in the room. I do believe I need to create the conditions for a smart team to do great work.
For me, that means clear expectations, honest conversations, real accountability, and making space for people to challenge an idea—including mine.
I've led teams and worked with contractors on complex, high-volume projects. When work needed to improve, I didn't just say what to fix. I explained why. Coaching is part of the work, not something you do after the work is finished.
And I don't confuse consistency with sameness. On our Compass Curriculum transformation, we used established design standards and formal quality reviews, but no rigid lesson templates. Each experience needed to stand on its own.
Standards should protect quality, not limit creativity.
03 / A FEW THINGS I BELIEVE
Principles I come back to.
Listen to the people closest to the work.
They usually know something the rest of us haven't seen yet.
Measure what matters.
Deliverables matter. But what changed for the learner, customer, or team matters more.
Keep learning.
Being willing to try, get stuck, and figure it out is how good ideas become real.
04 / STILL BUILDING, STILL LEARNING
Curiosity isn't just something I talk about.
I like getting my hands into the work.
Recently, that has meant exploring AI automation and building a Substitute Plan Builder to help teachers spend less time on administrative tasks. I'm learning new tools, testing ideas, and thinking carefully about where technology helps—and where human judgment has to remain in charge.
I've always loved learning. Not because I need to know everything, but because there's always something worth figuring out.
05 / WHAT'S NEXT
Good work happens where people and purpose meet.
I'm looking for a leadership role where I can connect strategy, people, learning, and product thinking to make a measurable difference.
I'm drawn to teams that value curiosity, collaboration, honest feedback, and the willingness to rethink how things have always been done.
If that sounds like your team, I'd welcome a conversation.
