I am an educator and literacy specialist with over 10 years experience in low-income and under-served communities. My interest is in creating highly-engaging and effective learning experiences for young people, and ensuring equitable access to opportunities. Specifically, I like to read about education, technology, literacy and information.

about: open classroom

I started open classroom because I believe that all social change happens through learning. Non-traditional “classrooms” or learning experiences are all around us: at work, online, in our communities. In order to be effective, learning experiences must put the user (not the “teacher”) at the center.

I help organizations and individuals create impact through the design, development and delivery of high-leverage learning experiences for diverse stakeholders. Through this work, the organizations I work with use technology, information and interaction to empower communities in order to drive change.

As a consultant, I can create and deliver high-quality and effective:

• lesson and unit plans
• curricula
• training modules
• websites
• pathfinders
• project plans
• information architecture designs
• interaction design projects
• research projects
• and more
