Turning complex regulations into practical skills
and confident performance.
About
I'm a Ph.D. microbiologist and instructional designer who turns complex scientific and regulatory requirements into training people can understand, remember, and apply on the job.Over 14 years in higher education, I partnered with life sciences companies to identify workforce needs, assess skills gaps, and design biotechnology training programs that prepared people for real industry roles. I built a biotechnology program from the ground up and helped implement the nation's first bachelor's degree in biomanufacturing, which was designated the Preferred Provider of Life Science Talent for San Diego.My approach has always been to start with what employers and learners need, then develop practical, engaging training delivered in person, virtually, or through hybrid formats.Today, I bring that same industry-driven approach to life sciences, food safety, and other regulated organizations, helping teams build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to perform at their best.I work in English and Spanish.
