What can I bring to your organization?
Skills & Degrees
I love solving puzzles, and what's the best puzzle of all? The brain! Psychologists have made a lot of headway in understanding how the brain learns best, while educators have used pedagogical best practices to bring learning to life. But research and practice aren't always a perfect fit. Educators have to use their judgment to find what works for their students. I like to find the pieces that make learning click for students of all ages in all settings. I specialize in solving the most-challenging education-based brainteasers like:
🔍 How can we make learning more engaging?
🧩 How does the brain actually process this?
📖 What will bring this learning experience to life?
I combine prior knowledge in psychology, experience in education, and a penchant for problem-solving with a keen business mind to create curriculum products with purpose. With a hobby of authoring mystery novels, I also like to bring a storytelling element to keep students hooked and interacting with educational content in ways that enhance comprehension. I thrive in collaborating with professionals passionate about helping students reach their full potential.
If your company is looking for an edtech professional who thinks like a psychologist, writes like a storyteller, and solves problems like a game designer, let’s connect—I’d love to help learning level up!
