Hello!
Happy you stopped by. I’m an instructional designer and trainer who relishes opportunities to develop and deliver learning that enhances individuals and organizations. Making the mundane interesting is a challenge I wholeheartedly embrace.
My extensive and diverse experiences as a nonprofit professional give me a unique approach to organizational effectiveness. Once issues are identified, it’s important to focus on the possibilities. There are always possibilities for change disguised as problems. I find the positives and work collaboratively to use them to improve performance and outcomes.
I recently completed the Master of Arts in Training and Development program at Roosevelt University. I am seeking a career opportunity that blends instructional design, training and organizational development.

MY NAME
No, my parents didn’t try to fancy up a name based on the famous gym shoes :-). My name is actually a shortened version of a lovely African name from the Yoruba tribe. Although my parents are American, they wanted me to have a name with meaning. I’ll tell you the full name and story if we ever meet!
