collaboration and learning design.

Communication

Clear Communication Drives Great Learning

I believe strong communication is the key to successful learning design. It helps clarify objectives, keeps content aligned with learner needs, and builds trust throughout the process. When communication flows openly and respectfully, collaboration becomes smoother—and great results follow.

Integrity

Integrity Builds Trust

I lead with honesty, transparency, and a strong sense of responsibility—to both clients and team members. I’m committed to doing what’s right, not just what’s easy, and I take pride in delivering high-quality work grounded in strong ethics and accountability.

Innovation

Innovation Fuels Progress

I’m driven to push creative boundaries and explore fresh approaches to meet diverse learning needs. Whether it's discovering new tools or reimagining delivery methods, I stay curious and committed to designing learner-centric, results-focused experiences that make a lasting impact.

A little more about me...

I grew up in a small town in western South Dakota. Living in rural areas taught me the importance of building community and nurturing personal relationships. To keep those connections strong, I strive to be trustworthy and accountable in my work and my personal life. I attended the University of South Dakota and have spent the majority of my childhood and adult life in North and South Dakota. I currently live in Cypress, TX with my three children, where I have resided since 2015. My children are three of my greatest accomplishments. My oldest son is attending a technical college and studying airline mechanics (almost done!). My middle son graduated HS Summa Cum Laude and just finished his first year at Texas State University. My daughter is headed to 8th grade in the fall, and an exceptional artist. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors (hiking, biking, fishing, camping), barbeques, pool time, yoga, and having friends and family around.
