People with strong Learner talents constantly strive to learn and improve. The process of learning is just as important to them as the knowledge they gain.

I’ve always been the person who reads the instruction manual just to see if I could write it better. I’m in a state of constant iteration. Whether I’m testing a new recipe, chasing a PR at the gym, or exploring the mechanics of a new video game, I approach life with a 'beta' mindset. I’m a lifelong learner at heart—a quality that's currently being put to the test as I navigate the beautiful, chaotic learning curve of new motherhood (usually with a good book nearby for the quiet moments).

Living in Richmond, I’m surrounded by a mix of old-school grit and new-school design, and that’s exactly how I approach my work. I’m a Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) with a Master’s in EdTech Leadership, which gives me the formal tools to build at scale. But my Sociology degree from UVA is what keeps me grounded. It reminds me that behind every data point is a person trying to do their job a little bit better.

I’ve spent over a decade turning complex "info-dumps" into streamlined, high-fidelity experiences. I’ve mastered the Adobe Suite and Articulate, but my favorite tool is still a deep, collaborative conversation that leads to a breakthrough.

If I’m not enjoying our beautiful home, our family is exploring the sights, sounds, and food the Richmond area has to offer.
