I'm a Top Rated curriculum developer who builds engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences, and I now help organizations turn AI tools into actual team capability through custom GPTs, Claude Projects, and structured training programs. My background is in K-12, adult learning, and teacher professional development, where I've led curriculum teams and designed everything from year-long programs to hands-on STEM courses. That same instructional design lens is exactly what makes AI implementations work. Most teams fail with AI not because the tools are bad, but because no one has built the training, workflows, and documentation around them. What I do: 1. AI training programs for small business and education teams: Onboarding curriculum, video modules, practice exercises, and SOPs that get your team from zero to confident with tools like ChatGPT and Claude. 2. Custom GPTs and Claude Projects: Purpose-built AI assistants trained on your business, designed with the same care I'd give a course (clear instructions, tested outputs, real workflows). 3. AI-powered course and content development: I help coaches, consultants, and education companies build courses faster without sacrificing instructional quality. 4. Curriculum and learning experience design: Inquiry-based and project-based K-12 lessons, full course outlines, STEM and coding programs, and teacher professional development. 5. Leadership in curriculum development: I've led curriculum teams at the K-8 level, overseeing cross-subject content creation and instructional design. 6. Adult learning programs: Practical, accessible modules that support career growth and workplace learning. I work best with clients who want a thoughtful partner, not just a deliverable. If you have a vague idea and need someone to turn it into a real program with structure, sequence, and something your learners will actually use, let's talk.

I’m an education writer, curriculum developer, and learning designer with a Master of Education focused on Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice. My background includes classroom teaching, Special Education, Learning Resource support, adult-facing educational content, and program development. I help turn complex ideas into clear, thoughtful learning materials for children, adults, families, educators, organizations, and course creators. My work often includes curriculum development, online course content, workbooks, facilitator guides, educator resources, parent-facing materials, training content, and accessible educational copy. Writing is a central part of what I do. I’m strong at taking rough notes, AI-generated drafts, complex source material, or partially developed ideas and shaping them into content that feels clear, organized, natural, and human. I pay close attention to tone, flow, audience, structure, and whether the material actually works for the people using it. My education background helps me build content that is more than just well-written. I think about learning outcomes, pacing, cognitive load, accessibility, engagement, reflection, and practical application. For adult learning projects, I focus on clarity, relevance, real-world use, and making sure the material respects the learner’s time and experience. I’m especially strong at layered or sensitive topics, including social-emotional learning, equity, belonging, accessibility, personal development, family support, workplace learning, and community-based education. I can help make heavy or complex material feel steady, usable, and approachable without watering it down. My work includes: • curriculum development • online course writing • lesson and unit planning • adult learning and training materials • instructional design support • workbooks and learning guides • facilitator and educator guides • parent and family resources • educational copywriting • editing and refining AI-generated content • structuring rough ideas into clear programs • accessibility-focused content • social-emotional learning materials • equity, belonging, and inclusion resources If you’re building a course, curriculum, program, training resource, or educational product and need someone who can bring structure, clarity, and a strong human voice to the work, I’d be glad to help.
