About Kirsten
28 years shaping learning that actually works.
From K–12 classrooms to online college courses to instructional design, it has always been about people — not content, not checklists. People who are ready to do meaningful work, waiting for a path that fits how they actually learn and live.
What I bring
Deep, multi-context experience
K–12 classrooms. Online higher education. Instructional design across mission-driven, nonprofit, and product contexts. The patterns repeat — and so do the fixes.
A track record of real wins
I design paths that turn 'potential' into participation — onboarding that lands, training that sticks, programs that people actually finish and use. Backed by a Master's degree in Instructional Design and 28 years of practice.
Heart first, method second.
I volunteer with adaptive sports programs because resilience and inclusion deserve a stage. Watching someone find their footing — literally — is the clearest reminder of what good path design can do.
I am drawn to mission-driven organizations, environmental and conservation work, and any venture that helps people grow with dignity. If your dream is people-centered, we will get along.
How we work together
- I lead with questions, then map a clear path that fits your people and your goals.
- I design onboarding, learning, and systems that people feel in their bones — so they stay, grow, and contribute.
- Humans lead the judgment. AI quietly handles the heavy analysis so the work moves faster without losing its soul.
If your dream is meaningful and people-centered, I would love to talk.
