In 2020, I began freelancing while searching for full-time work. Drawn to entrepreneurship, I continued taking on client projects even after starting my career as an instructional designer in higher education. This journey led me to formally establish MWCS in 2022. Creating MWCS has allowed me to channel my skills as a writer and learning designer into work that aligns deeply with my passions.

I have over five years of experience as an instructional designer and educator in higher education and educational technology where I collaborate with faculty and administrators to build accessible, rigorous, and highly contextualized classes for adult learners. By academic training, I am a writer and a linguist, holding an undergraduate degree in Spanish and graduate degrees in TESL and English. Before transitioning to instructional design, I taught professional writing and linguistics courses on a full and part-time basis for over five years.

Born and raised in Connecticut, I studied in South Carolina and lived for eight years in the Palouse region of the Idaho panhandle before returning to my home state in 2024. Between starting a career and launching a business during the pandemic, pursuing my hobbies of travel and creative writing has been difficult in recent years. However, I have lived or studied in Spain, Nicaragua, Honduras, Indonesia, and Uruguay at different times. My creative nonfiction and poetry has been published in various online and print literary journals, and I continue aspiring toward traveling and writing for fun.

Today, MWCS partners with clients across various sectors who share a commitment to making a positive impact. My focus is on projects, products, and courses that expand access to education and economic opportunity. I am particularly inspired by initiatives that intersect with climate justice and sustainability, which I view as critical missions for the 21st century.

Whether you represent a private-sector organization, non-profit, school district, or university, MWCS is here to meet your writing, learning design, and educational material needs. Dedicated to your mission and the people and environments you serve, I aim to be the partner who brings your vision for content and coursework to life.
