In Person
I spend time in rooms with educators, builders, and community leaders to share work in progress, learn from others, and support organizations I care about.
Cheers & Chapters: Holiday Networking Benefit: December 1, 2025
I attended this event in support of my local libraries and the work they do to strengthen access to knowledge and community connection.
Education Design Lab at CB Exchange: Phoenix, Arizona
I presented on behalf of Education Design Lab at CB Exchange in Phoenix. We shared tools for designing skills validators and spent time together mapping what comes next for skills validation.
A candid photo of me mid presentation, taken by my colleague Nishita, captured the moment perfectly and made me laugh.


While I was away, my kids had Veterans Day off and spent the day at Yorkies, their dad’s restaurant, with family. After the conference, I traveled to Maine to visit my dad and made it through the trip without getting caught in the government shutdown flight chaos.
Let’s connect
If you are hosting a convening, workshop, or working session and are interested in skills, credentials, or learning design, I would love to be part of the conversation.
