From designing schools, learning programs, and curriculum, to developing knowledge management systems (KMS) to improve the flow of information in organizations, my work has integrated information technologies (ICT) and learning science to foster unity, increase efficiency, and produce meaningful outcomes in numerous organizations and communities.

I have worked with organizations across nonprofit, government, philanthropic, and corporate sectors, including the Technology Access Foundation (TAF), the City of Seattle, Equal Opportunity Schools (EOS), Latino Network, Inneract Project, Seattle Public Schools (SPS), Rutgers Business School, Foster Business School, the University of Washington, The State of Kentucky, the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), and Seattle Office of Economic Development.
