I am a passionate and driven channel leader who creates and oversees the growing and prospering Channel program for Instructure, the company behind Canvas LMS, the most widely adopted learning management system in the world.

As the Global Programs Sr. Manager, I lead the charge as Instructure rolls out a comprehensive and innovative channel program that incorporates various types of partners, such as value-added resellers, premium services partners, distribution partners, and referral partners. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, such as sales, operations, and enablement, to design, launch, and manage the program operations, policies, knowledge bases, and certification processes. I also deliver high-quality partner enablement sessions globally, supporting the growth and performance of our channel partners. Thanks to my efforts, the channel program has generated over $1M in revenue in the first six months, and has expanded our reach and impact in the education market.

My mission is to empower others to be more awesome, whether they are educators, learners, partners, or colleagues. I thrive on building relationships, solving problems, and reaching goals. I am always eager to learn new skills, explore new opportunities, and take on new challenges. I have a dual degree in history and Russian from Brigham Young University, and a master's degree in teaching from the University of Southern California. I am also fluent in Russian and have multiple certifications in education and training. Some of my honors include being nominated as Teacher of the Year, receiving the Customer Success Org Award, and recognition in the revenue org within 6 months of starting a position in Channel.
