My Approach
Strategic and Evidence-Driven
I examine the system surrounding the learning challenge (business context, constraints, risks, and performance expectations). Recommendations are grounded in evidence, research, and real-world feasibility.
Collaborative by Design
I partner closely with stakeholders, subject-matter experts, and leaders to surface gaps, clarify priorities, and make informed design decisions. Collaboration is not performative; it is how I ensure learning solutions are credible, usable, and trusted.
Focus on Behavior and Systems
I design learning to influence behavior within real systems. That means accounting for human factors, compliance requirements, accessibility standards, and operational realities.

I begin by understanding the organizational context, constraints, learner realities, and desired outcomes before recommending a learning approach. This ensures the solution is grounded in evidence and feasibility rather than assumptions.
-
My work spans financial services, aviation safety, and other regulated environments where accuracy, consistency, and judgment are critical.
-
In regulated environments, engagement doesn’t come from removing required content, but from designing how learners encounter it. I focus on clarity, pacing, context, and decision-making rather than unnecessary interaction.
