About

Founder and Chief Learning Innovator, effectivEDU
For more than two decades I’ve specialized in creating exceptional learning.
This started at Riverdale Country School, where I worked for 14 years to incorporate technology meaningfully into the classroom: by building Riverdale’s flagship professional development program; by building its first hackathon series; by introducing laptops, Chromebooks, 3D printing, virtual and augmented reality, and always with an eye toward how they improve learning.
Then at Flatiron School and ThriveDX, both bootcamps for high-tech fields like coding and cybersecurity, in addition to coaching the instructors and curriculum teams, I built the systems to hire, train, and evaluate the instructors, leading to high levels of instructor self-efficacy and performance.
I’ve found my greatest professional joy in combining learning science and classroom best-practices with powerful technological enhancements to improve learning.
Because learning that doesn’t change things doesn’t matter.
Let’s make your learning matter.
Best,
