About Me

Thanks for stopping by! I'm a Midwesterner turned Washingtonian, Enneagram 3, living with my fiancee and a goofy greyhound named Drier. By day, I work in Ed Tech managing an operations and deliver team. By night I'm grad student getting my Master's in Learning, Design, and Technology. I love goal setting, making plans, and reading lots of books. Stick around and send me a message, I'd love to hear from you.
