I am an instructional designer who works with college-level learners to identify their skills and capacities, to assess their values and beliefs, and to develop a concrete path based on these assessments. In my other life, I am an artist, a designer, an organizer, and more than anything, interested in what you might be willing to tell me. I love being around people so much that I am learning to become a recluse and balance my energy more evenly.

In all of my work, professional and creative, I am drawn to working on the discovery of someone's stories. Everyone has a great story to tell, and often people don’t realize their own narrative gift. I like to tell others’ stories, but more often, I like to empower others to believe their experience is worth documenting.
