Bio

At heart, I am an educator, artist, bookworm, learner, and teacher. Currently, I am working with Allen Interactions and experiencing the most fun in my career. I love my job! I hang out with the coolest smartest people who are creating innovative technology solutions for learning and human performance optimization. I love digging into our client’s problems and providing them with sustainable solutions. What fuels me? Creative energy. As an artist, my work has been described as joy-filled and happy. I volunteer regularly and am passionate about social good and literacy. In 2021 our family moved to Maine with a five-year plan to launch Unbridled Peace, a nonprofit focusing on dismantling the inequities of literacy in rural Maine. This year we had an Amish barn raising and added two mini horses to our herd! When I resolved my own trauma, I aimed to pay the healing forward. My journey was filled with grace and gratitude. I sincerely believe we all are worthy of kindness and peace, as individuals, organizations, and communities. For over a decade I have taught and designed courses in the New England College Graduate Studies Program. My favorite subjects are Improvement Sciences, Design Thinking, and Organizational Leadership. Ask me about AI-powered learning solutions! Are you seeking a thought partner to share brave space?
