About

I'm an AI Native Curriculum Designer at Splunk.

Before instructional design, I was a high school band director, and I have a master's in music performance in percussion. Technology has followed me through both careers. For over two years now I've been all in on AI: learning how it works and how to apply it to learning.

Outside work, I tinker. I set up smart lights and other IoT devices, and I'm getting better at soldering (not really, though). I've also streamed on Twitch, mostly to learn how to make a stream work and the tech behind it. The games were just an excuse for the project.
