Over a decade ago, I embarked on a transformative journey, trading the East Coast for the captivating landscapes of Colorado. This voyage led me to earn a degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, as a testament to my commitment to growth and learning. Drawn by Colorado’s outdoor wonders, I embraced life across diverse locales – from the Western Slope near Grand Junction to the dynamic cities of Boulder and the Denver Metro Area.

My heart resonates with Colorado’s myriad offerings, from adrenaline-inducing skiing and rafting escapades to the cultural tapestry of music festivals. Having previously sculpted young minds in middle and high schools across the state, my trajectory evolved in May 2022. Today, I am honored to contribute to Naropa University as a vital member of the Office of Online Teaching and Learning Technology as Naropa’s first internal instructional designer. Concurrently, I serve as an adjunct faculty member specializing in the realm of financial literacy.

Earning a master’s degree in Education from the University of Southern California has fortified my pedagogical foundation, enhancing my ability to foster effective learning experiences. As a instructional designer at Naropa, I have the privilege of fusing technological innovation with my passion for empowering others to achieve financial equilibrium. I currently work as an Instructional designer at Naropa in addition to my teaching duties.
