Learning Design & Community-Building Consulting

Learning is always relational

In organizations committed to formation, justice, and community, the work is never just about information. It’s about shaping people — helping learners engage deeply with ideas, with one another, and with the world they hope to serve.

And yet, sustaining this kind of formation — especially in online and hybrid spaces — brings its own challenges, as well as opportunities.

That’s where I come in. I partner with you to strengthen learning communities, design courses and programs, and support faculty and staff in creating spaces where students learn, connect, and experience lasting formation.

How I Support Organizations

  • Design or redesign online and hybrid courses and programs.

  • Build learning communities that foster connection, depth, and engagement.

  • Support faculty development through training, coaching, and collaborative design.

  • Align course design with learning outcomes, formation goals, and institutional values.

  • Navigate the unique challenges of online and hybrid learning environments.

Why This Work Matters

Strong course design and community-building are about more than technology or learning objectives. They are about nurturing formation and sustaining the mission of justice-oriented institutions.

With experience in education, ministry, and online learning, I help organizations create environments where students and faculty connect meaningfully with the material, with one another, and with the communities they are called to serve.

I bring practical tools, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the mission of those I work with.
