Business Professor · Bend, Oregon

Designing online learning
experiences that actually work.

I help students connect with business concepts in ways that feel real — not like they're clicking through a checklist. Online education can be human. I'm here to prove it.

"I believe that distance shouldn't mean disconnected. The best online classes feel like a real conversation — one that challenges you and respects your time."

My Approach

Humanizing online learning — one course at a time.

Most online courses are built for efficiency — content delivery, checkboxes, completion rates. That's not learning. Real learning happens when students feel seen, challenged, and respected. My work is about closing the gap between digital convenience and genuine human connection.

Across every course I teach, the question is the same: how do we make this feel like a real conversation, not a transaction?

01

Presence by design

Warmth and accountability built into the course structure — not added on as an afterthought.

02

Async with intention

Flexibility without isolation. Students have room to breathe and still feel like they belong to something.

03

Real stakes, real context

Business concepts grounded in actual decisions — so the learning transfers when it counts.

Let's talk.

Collaboration, speaking, or just a good conversation about teaching online.
