I'm a learning professional with ~20 years experience bridging people and technology, standing-up new programs, driving organizational transformation, and building effective systems. I have been deeply interested in the use of technology for learning since my days as an undergraduate student. My current curiosity revolves around ways to use **AI to accelerate learning** and with the human phenomenon of **cognitive unloading** + **trusting AI**. My other interests involve team organization and building operational effectiveness. While these interests have grown from the past 10+ years, my roots are in research related to **adult and digital learning** and a persistent desire to simply **build**. Previously, I have been an Instructional Designer at the [Massachusetts Institute of Technology](https://web.mit.edu) and the [International Monetary Fund](https://www.imf.org/en/home), a Curriculum Manager at [Booz Allen Hamilton](https://www.boozallen.com), a Learning Consultant with the [Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency](https://fiscaltransparency.net), and a director creating and leading programs on digital learning and AI literacy at [The George Washington University](https://www.gwu.edu). Across these, I've served in two inaugural roles (IMF+GWU), built programs and products from scratch, transformed teams, and served as a coach and mentor. *Currently, I'm pursuing the next step.* Aside from work, I enjoy studying US and Chinese history, reading about space programs, stock trading, learning to play the guitar, and discovering new foods with my family.
