I build education platforms that open doors. For over 15 years, I’ve helped global tech and media companies turn learning into a growth engine—scaling programs that equip marketers, creators, and teams with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
Now, as Director of Marketer Education at LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, I’m focused on helping marketers unlock the full power of the platform through world-class, multi-modal learning experiences. This role continues a long-standing passion: designing education that drives both individual success and business impact.
Before LinkedIn, I led global education efforts at Twitter, YouTube, Google, PMI, and DoubleClick—launching programs like Twitter Flight School, YouTube Creator Academy, and YouTube Certified. I’ve worked across partner education, scaled creator development, sales enablement, and most recently, AI-powered learning innovation.
Along the way, I’ve built and led high-performing teams, always with empathy at the center. As someone with vision impacted by nystagmus (see www.nystagmus.org) I bring a deep respect for different ways of seeing and learning—literally and metaphorically. That lens shapes how I lead, teach, and build.
I’m especially proud to have launched CustomerEd Strategist & Growth Advisor, a GPT designed to support the global customer education community. Because I believe that when people learn with confidence, they grow with purpose.
