Who I am drives my design decisions.

I’m an avid explorer - from coffee shops to countries. When it comes to work, I am interested in discovering new trends & solutions. I bring my ***exploratory & creative vision*** to learning experience design. I go beyond producing courses; I explore all options to ***customize a solution*** that fits your audience’s needs - keeping your business goals at the forefront. If I don’t know how to do something, I will - without a doubt - exhaust all my options until I figure it out! When it comes to discovering solutions, I employ ***creative methods*** and am ***unwaveringly determined***.

I’m a Chicagoland-native, but my professional experience extends to places like South Korea, Taiwan, China, & Spain. As an employee & long-term resident in several international contexts, my ***exposure*** ***to different perspectives*** is an invaluable resource I draw upon when making design decisions. I strongly value learning experiences that consider & celebrate the ***unique backgrounds*** of every learner in my audience.

Simply put - I ***value the learner***, because I know what it’s like to be the learner! I consider the learner’s needs first, by designing eLearning that is simple, aesthetically pleasing, & ultimately, user-friendly. I love feedback; it gives me a clearer picture of how my leaners feel about my work. I get the opportunity to create experiences that learners *actually* enjoy!

But really.. who am I?

Nature enthusiast, proud Italian-American, country trekker, coffee fanatic, & recreational singer - just a few descriptions that capture me - I believe in living a life that is intentional and genuine. Both personally & professionally, my core qualities & values ring throughout every thing I do. To get a holistic sense of who I am, check out some of my treasured life moments below.
