My Story

With over 14 years of experience in both corporate and educational settings, I began my career as a high school science teacher in the NYCDOE and Mexico City, where I developed inquiry- and project-based curricula in both English and Spanish. As a department lead, I mentored fellow educators, deepening my understanding of pedagogy. My Master’s in Education has guided my application of learning theory throughout my career.

​

For the past three years, I’ve been a Senior Learning Designer at Udemy, specializing in shaping impactful learning experiences through AI-driven tools. I collaborate with cross-functional teams—product, design, engineering, and data science—to inform the development of learning features like AI chatbots, AI-powered learning paths, content discovery tools, assessments, authentic practice features, and the course-taking experience. My work has been key in guiding product decisions through learning requirement documentation, consultations, and continuous feature refinement based on feedback. For example, my recommendations for the AI-powered Learning Paths and AI Assistant led to significant increases in user engagement, and my skill mapping framework improved the accuracy of personalized learning journeys.

​

In addition to my product work, I collaborated with technical SMEs to create project-based learning experiences called Labs, refining training materials, providing instructor feedback, and developing guidelines for technical subjects like Azure and Data Science.

​

Bilingual and passionate about integrating new technologies into my work, I’m committed to making learning experiences both effective and enjoyable. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, practicing yoga, and traveling, always seeking new ways to bring creativity and mindfulness into my designs.
