Turning complex ideas into learning that resonates.
Your experts know the material. Your learners need a way in. I bridge that gap by turning dense notes, rough ideas, and underdeveloped content into learning that people can follow, remember, and apply.
Workplace learning samples focused on communication, feedback, and manager development. Each piece is built around a clear through-line — so the message lands and stays with the people who need it most.
Articulate Storyline 360
A branching scenario module built in Articulate Storyline 360. Learners play a first-time manager navigating five real-world moments with a struggling direct report. Decisions are scored, feedback is immediate, and results reflect the cumulative impact of each choice.
Articulate Rise 360
A scenario-based microlearning module for experienced managers. Explores how trauma responses show up as workplace behavior — and what to do differently. Includes three scenario practice points and a companion job aid.
Canva
A companion job aid for the microlearning module above. Designed for rapid scanning before or during difficult management conversations.
Google Slides
A self-paced slide-based module for new managers, built around the SBI (Situation-Behavior-Impact) feedback model. Follows a complete instructional arc — from framework introduction to a realistic workplace scenario, scaffolded reflection, and modeled response.
Curriculum and slide-based learning for younger learners — science, reading comprehension, and humanities. Designed to find the note that makes a young learner lean in.
Grades K–2
An NGSS-aligned interactive module teaching early elementary learners to identify and sequence the four stages of a butterfly’s life cycle.
Grades 1–2
An early literacy interactive module aligned to CCSS RL.1.3 and RL.2.1, building comprehension and story recall through guided practice.
Grades 5–7
An inquiry-based humanities lesson exploring how jazz reflected social change in 1920s Harlem, with discussion and written assessment.
Selected writing that shows how I explain ideas, shape voice, and write for real audiences. Clarity, structure, and reader connection — the same skills I bring to learning content.
Ghostwritten long-form articles introducing classical music topics to general audiences — blending historical context, accessible explanation, and engaging narrative voice.
Read the work →A published essay demonstrating narrative voice, pacing, and audience connection — written for a broad general audience on a deeply human subject.
From quick-reference tools to full learning modules — every piece scored for clarity, so people know what matters and what to do next.
Focused modules, Rise courses, slide-based learning, and short experiences designed around clear outcomes.
Quick-reference tools that help people apply what they know in the moment they need it.
Structured learning sequences, activities, prompts, and assessments for education or training contexts.
Guides, walkthroughs, and plain-language explanations that help users get oriented fast.
Realistic practice activities that help learners make decisions, reflect, and transfer skills to real situations.
Clear rewrites of dense or expert-heavy source material into learning content people can actually follow.
I spent the first part of my career as a professional singer — opera stages, international tours, Lincoln Center — which means I learned early that knowing your material isn't enough. You have to know your audience. That's still the question I start with.
At Levine Music — one of the largest nonprofit community music schools in the country, serving roughly 4,000 students across five DC-area campuses — I built a learning program for older adults from the ground up. What started as a part-time coordinator role grew into a full directorship, with a team of instructors, community partnerships, grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and Pfizer, and enrollment growth of more than 50% in the first year. The program was recognized by the NEA as a national model and featured on CBS Evening News and NPR.
That same instinct — find what the learner needs, build a structure that delivers it, and make sure it actually lands — is what drives every project I take on, whether it's a microlearning module, a curriculum sequence, or a full learning program.
My tools include Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise 360, Camtasia, Canva, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office. I work within ADDIE and apply adult learning principles across every project.
Open to instructional design, LXD, and curriculum writing roles. Based in the Washington, DC area.
