I started my career as a health coach, where I fell in love with understanding human behavior and how people think.

Now, with the advent of AI, technology is changing those thought and behavior patterns. I’m interested in making sure it changes us for the better.

My work sits at the intersection of coaching, adult learning, and cognitive science. Whether I’m coaching an individual or designing a learning experience for an organization, my goal is the same: to help people think in ways that allow them to thrive.

At first glance, coaching and learning design seem like different careers. I see them as two ways of solving the same problem.

Coaching helps one person build better habits, make better decisions, and create lasting change.

Learning experience design helps hundreds (or more) do the same thing through thoughtful, engaging learning experiences built from the same principles I use in my coaching practice.

My career has taken me through health coaching, behavior change, content strategy, and educational program design. I hold a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology, am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist.

My Mission

Increased AI use raised a quandary for me: if LLMs are doing our thinking for us, what happens to our brains?

The answer is that those who prioritize their ability to focus, think creatively and critically, and continue learning gain the competitive advantage.

It’s my goal to help people develop and hone these skills.

Beyond the titles

Outside of work, you’ll find me roller skating around Austin, TX, experimenting with watercolor, petting stray cats, and doing whatever I can to make people laugh.
