About Me

I'm passionate about education and I believe it's more important than ever in today's quickly-changing world. Parents, students, and teachers need great resources that meet their needs and support efficient, lasting, satisfying learning.

I work with subject-matter experts to design learning materials especially for homeschoolers and self-taught learners.

You have the subject expertise that parents need to make sure they are delivering high quality learning. And I can help you put your expertise into a format that parents and kids alike will love learning from.

My Story

Instructional Design Skills

I specialize in curriculum development, learning materials creation, and digital implementation for homeschool environments, both parent-led and self-led. I'm great at translating complex concepts into engaging learning experiences. I've used a wide range of technologies and I love learning to use new tools.
