I am a course consultant and specialize in

curriculum content design. 

Don’t let your expertise go to waste.

Let’s work together to create your signature program that focuses on the transformation, not just information.

Your clients deserve nothing less than content that engages, inspires, and drives lasting change.

With over 25 years of experience in curriculum development, 20 years as an entrepreneur, and 14 years in hospitality and event planning, I offer a unique blend of educational expertise and real-world business acumen that sets me apart in the field of course development.

My REFOCUS framework, developed through years of working with educators and entrepreneurs worldwide, has proven highly effective in creating engaging, transformative learning experiences. This system is particularly valuable for entrepreneurs looking to elevate their content and create courses that truly resonate with adult learners.

My background in both education and business allows me to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that the courses we develop not only educate but also drive real-world results. This approach is especially beneficial in the B2B market, where the focus is on delivering tangible value and ROI.

With my experience in hospitality and event planning, I have a unique perspective on creating immersive, memorable learning experiences – a crucial factor in today’s competitive retreat landscape.

By partnering with me, entrepreneurs can expect courses that engage learners, drive completion rates, and ultimately lead to better outcomes for both the learners and the businesses they serve

Life in Isla Mujeres, Mexico

In 2007, I visited Isla Mujeres, Mexico and fell in love with the island. The more often I visited, the more I wanted to be there. I met more and more people who lived there and I thought, “why not me”?

In 2009, I began writing “The Escape Plan”. This was my detailed, step-by-step plan on how I would quit my job and move to a Caribbean island.

My plan to create this transformation for my life utilized my skills and past experiences to reinvent my income streams and design a life that I wanted to live.

If you want to know more about how I planned that out, get in touch with me. I would be happy to tell you the story.

Let’s get to work on optimizing your signature program.

With my 25 years of experience working with course creators to develop curriculum, I can show you how to plan backwards to keep your course focused on the result you promise your students and eliminate the fluff.

My mission is to help course creators get unstuck and optimize their online course so that it attracts more learners who complete it with success and give you great reviews, referrals and return clients through quality curriculum design in six weeks so that you can make more sales and offer more impact for your clients.
