Hello! I'm an e-learning specialist and instructional design expert, and have many years of experience in online (and offline) education. Currently, I work at Udemy where my main focus is ensuring we have a great online teaching and learning experience on both a content and product level. Before that, I worked at The New York Times where I was the senior manager of the education division. I'm passionate about education and technology, and the intersection of the two. I'm also a lifelong learner, which makes Udemy perfect for me!
