My Story

I’m a learning experience designer based in Vancouver, WA. My roots are from New Zealand where I worked in healthcare, but I transitioned to E-Learning in the USA after meeting and marrying my husband, Travis. I have spent the last 10+ years working in the Learning & Development sector, creating e-Learning, virtual learning, and instructor-led training.

I enjoy creating engaging, interactive and transformative learning experiences to meet business goals. With the belief that good people create great organizations, I am passionate about leadership and character development.

Outside of work I love my local community and spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid historical fiction reader, movie-watcher and like baking (well, mainly eating what I have baked!). I also volunteer my time to mentor young adults at my local church.
