I bridge the learning design and business strategy gap.
From leading international student expeditions across the Americas, to facilitating design sprints for Dell, Mars-Wrigley, and Northwest Mutual, to founding learning communities of my own — I've built, run, and studied experiential education businesses from the inside.
Most consultants who understand experiential learning focus on facilitation or curriculum. Most strategists know business models but not the realities of running retreats, cohorts, or immersive programs. I bridge that gap. I help experiential education teams decide what to build and design it using design sprints and strategy frameworks, so their next program or evolution is both pedagogically sound and commercially viable.
