I am an education project manager who designs for evidence-based knowledge acquisition, using technology to create experiences that facilitate learning. I use the right combination of research methods and agile methodologies to guide iteration and continuous improvement in education programs and organizations. A PMP keeps me moving and goal-focused.

I’ve managed education programs, communities, learning opportunities, and technical support in face-to-face and remote environments. A performance background means I can talk to people and experience in marketing and technical writing means I can make it make sense.

Most recently I was a member of the user success team at Observable, onboarding educators, building curriculum, and collaborating on resources to educate the next generation of data visualization professionals. Check out some articles, events, and resources from this program.
