What I do

Learning and Capability Development

I review instructional programs, staff training, onboarding, and professional learning to identify gaps between intended and actual outcomes. I then design targeted interventions, learning systems, and development plans with clear measures of success.

Organizational Change and Implementation

I examine why an initiative, program, or improvement effort has stalled. Through stakeholder input, process review, and data analysis, I identify barriers and develop practical implementation plans with clear responsibilities, timelines, and measures of progress.

Behavior, Culture, and Performance

I assess how policies, incentives, routines, communication, and leadership practices influence behavior. I help organizations redesign systems and working practices to improve accountability, collaboration, engagement, and organizational culture.

Responsible AI Strategy and Adoption

I help organizations identify appropriate uses for AI, evaluate tools, and plan responsible implementation. This includes pilot design, staff training, privacy and risk considerations, governance, and evaluation of AI’s effect on people and organizational outcomes.

About

Nearly a decade leading change in schools.

I have spent nearly a decade leading change across Florida's public and private schools, serving as a principal, assistant principal, dean, teacher, and instructional designer. My work has improved learning outcomes, strengthened organizational culture, and produced systems designed to deliver lasting results.

My approach integrates psychological science — particularly cognitive and behavioral principles — with Socratic inquiry and evidence-informed strategy. I help schools and organizations challenge assumptions, identify root causes, navigate cultural change, and turn complex problems into practical solutions.

My doctoral research examines teachers' experiences with AI-driven personalized learning, informing my human-centered approach to emerging technology and organizational change. I also serve as an at-large board member of the Volusia County Children and Families Advisory Board, where I assess community needs and make funding recommendations for programs that strengthen children, families, and communities.
