Who I Am
Second Draft was born out of two intersecting truths:
I’ve spent my life helping people learn.
And I’m still learning what that means.
For the past 15 years, I’ve worked across universities, startups, and mission-driven organizations helping educators, experts, and institutions rethink how knowledge is structured, delivered, and turned into impact. I’ve led teams, taught courses, designed programs, and built learning systems — all while watching education shift beneath our feet.
But Second Draft isn’t just about education.
It’s about what happens when you’ve already done the work — and you’re ready to make it mean more.
