I approach each project
with an adventurous spirit
and the experience
of a well-traveled soul.
​
I am an Instructional Designer with a bachelor's degree in studio art (photography and video production) from Florida State University and extensive experience in instructional design and video production. My background includes corporate and higher education, studio production, field producing, documentary story producing, and film, commercial, and live entertainment coordinating.
I have the research, product development, and writing expertise to create effective and engaging content; the organization and management skills to oversee projects from concept to completion; and the resourcefulness necessary to push projects to their highest production value within budget. I am passionate about creating solutions for business challenges, meeting new people and forming quality relationships, thinking outside the box, and breaking new ground.
