My Skills & Experience

I am a senior executive with 20+ years of progressive leadership at the intersection of Learning & Development and entertainment experience design, spanning global membership organizations, theme parks, and hospitality brands. Expert in architecting and scaling high-impact learning ecosystems from instructional design and LMS implementation to certification programs and leadership development that drive measurable gains in engagement and operational performance. Equally fluent in the language of live entertainment: producing shows, casting talent, directing guest experiences, and leading creative teams from concept through curtain. A strategic bridge between people development and immersive experience design, trusted to translate organizational vision into both transformational training programs and unforgettable guest moments.

​

I’m thrilled to invite you to explore my work, skills and professional experience, and get to know a bit more about me as my varied experiences allow me to offer a wide array of skills to positively impact your business, employees and clients. I look forward to getting creative with you.

About Me

Up Close & Personal

I’ve been fortunate to build a career in a field that’s both creatively fulfilling and constantly evolving. From day one, I’ve been passionate about producing high-quality entertainment experiences, whether on stage, in theme parks, or behind the scenes.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible colleagues and collaborators, each one shaping the way I approach leadership, storytelling, and team-building. Every project is an opportunity to grow, and I’m always eager to take on new challenges that push boundaries and spark joy.

I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking, creative vision, and hands-on experience to every role. I’m a strong leader, a collaborative partner, and always curious about what’s next.

Let’s connect — I’d love to explore how we might work together to create something unforgettable.
