About Me

I am a lifelong storyteller and persistent learner, driven by a passion for combining content with aesthetics to share knowledge.

I have extensive experience in corporate and academic curriculum design and analysis and developing hundreds of hours of training, including distance learning, eLearning, and instructor-led (virtual and in-person).

As the founder of thirdpower, I lead by example, using my expertise in adult learning theories and online education technology to mentor the team in crafting unique learning solutions.

My love for reading, science (real and fictional), the ocean, and contemplative coloring fuels my inspiration and creativity in my work.
