About

Systems thinker, person-first designer

I spent six years as a special education teacher before moving into tech. That's where I learned to design for the person most likely to be left out.

Since then I've built learning programs for Adobe, Google, Apple, and Pantheon, coached educators on accessibility tools as a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, and now lead AI enablement and technical training for a global company. I see how systems connect, and I build the workflows, courses, and tools that help people use them.

Outside of work I build assistive tech, study security, and compete in OSINT CTFs (top 20 of 110 at DEF CON 34).
