Summary

Experienced Missouri educator and psychology professor looking to transition out of the classroom while still having an impact on student achievement. More than 20 years of success as a Social Studies teacher, skilled in translating complex psychological and historical concepts into engaging structured learning paths. Experience in curriculum design, educational assessment, and project leadership. I’m a learning specialist who loves turning complex topics into lightbulb moments.

With a deep background in psychology and years of experience building digital courses, I design training that actually sticks. I’m big on collaboration, obsessed with the details, and always looking for a creative way to solve a learning challenge. Whether I'm building out a district-wide AP course or a college-level online module, my goal is the same: make it engaging, make it digital, and make it easy for the user. I’m a fan of fast-paced projects and love working with experts to bring fresh ideas to life.
