Summary


I'm a senior UX and instructional designer with 10+ years creating digital experiences that actually change what people know and do. My work lives at the intersection of user research, interface design, and learning science — a combination that's rare, and increasingly what modern digital products need. Most recently at AMN Healthcare, I led the end-to-end UX redesign of a large-scale platform serving 200K+ users across three distinct personas. Before that, I helped Instructure grow Canvas adoption across Latin America by 200% through localization and user-centered design strategy.
