I am a small-town soul with big dreams, based just a 40-minute ride away from Pittsburgh, PA. While my roots run deep in this beautiful region, life took me on a decade-long adventure to Delaware before I found my way back home in 2017.

When I'm not immersed in the world of curriculum development and instructional design, you can usually find me knee-deep in a crafting project, lost in the pages of a good book, or engaged in a friendly game night with friends and family. Lately, I've been exploring my creative side even further, dabbling in graphic design and organizing unforgettable events through my small business venture. Crafting and creating have become not just hobbies, but a way of life for me – a legacy passed down from my late mother, who was the ultimate champion of living life to the fullest!

Speaking of community, it's a cornerstone of who I am. In addition to my professional pursuits, I'm deeply involved in bringing women together in my neighborhood. Each month, we gather for laughter, support, and shared experiences, because there's something truly magical about women coming together to lift each other up.

So whether I'm busy crafting my next masterpiece, jet-setting off to new adventures with my husband, or simply enjoying a cozy evening at home with loved ones, one thing's for sure – I'm living out my mom's legacy, one creative endeavor at a time.

With over 15 years of experience in curriculum development and instructional design, I have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to aligning curricula with standards and breaking down their components since 2014. My passion for design and curriculum writing was ignited when I was selected to represent my state as a "Dream Team" teacher for LearnZillion. Since then, I have enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to craft engaging and effective curricula, evolving this passion into a central focus of my professional journey. 

Skilled in leveraging data-driven insights and innovative technologies, I have successfully spearheaded numerous initiatives, including Career Day events during Black History Month and the founding of the DIVAS mentoring program for teenage girls. My dedication to empowering learners and fostering meaningful connections with stakeholders positions me as an ideal candidate for program management or instructional design roles.
