About Me
I’m an early childhood education leader and instructional designer focused on professional learning for educators. With more than 20 years of experience in classrooms, coaching, and program leadership, I design learning experiences that help educators translate research into meaningful classroom practice. My work connects instructional coaching, curriculum implementation, and adult learning to support teacher growth and strong outcomes for young children.


My Design Approach
My design approach combines early childhood research with adult learning theory. I focus on job-embedded learning experiences such as coaching cycles, scenario-based discussions, and practical planning tools that educators can apply immediately in their classrooms.
Professional Background
My career spans classroom teaching, instructional coaching, and program leadership within early childhood education. These experiences inform my instructional design work and help ensure that professional learning is both research-based and practical for educators.

Professional Learning Facilitation
In addition to designing professional learning systems, I regularly facilitate workshops and conference sessions for early childhood educators and instructional leaders. I have presented at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) conference, the Ohio Association for the Education of Young Children (OAEYC) conference, the Ohio Voices for Learning Inspired Teacher Institute, and regional professional development events.
