The Creation Energy Buccaneer

Antonetta is WorldKind’s Director of Training and Development. She holds degrees in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as an Associate degree in Interpretation and Translation. With an unwavering commitment to lifelong learning, she also holds accreditations from multiple industry-recognized professional organizations, which spans instructional design, public health-based community education, and neuro-linguistic programming.

Antonetta brings over 15 years of Fortune 100 leadership experience, specializing in the strategic development of purpose-driven programs. In 2018, she established a public health education business that earned recognition as a Best of Austin business in 2022. Additionally, she serves as a guest lecturer at the University of Texas-Austin in the Department of Human Development and Family Sciences. Her lectures, conducted during 2022-2023, delve into topics such as public health inclusivity and the compounding societal impacts of accessibility to perinatal education.

Today, her primary passion is crafting human-centered, empowering platforms designed to support collective potential. Her dedication to the field of learning experience-based instructional design is rooted in a fundamental belief that the opportunity for self-empowerment and lifelong learning begins with accessibility, encompassing both synchronous and asynchronous approaches.

Antonetta, along with her husband and their trio of rescue pups, call their little wooded oasis just outside of Austin home. An avid globetrotter and nature enthusiast, she's often found exploring trails with her dogs, island-hopping in the Pacific, adventuring across international rail systems, and swooning over all things well-designed with her trusty Loops, reMarkable tablet, and jam-packed Kindle in tow.

"I love traveling anywhere with great hiking trails, stand-up paddleboarding, and trains. Some of my favorite go-to spots are in Sedona, the Island of Hawai'i (Big Island), and Bavaria. It's an honor to contribute and be a part of the WorldKind network as we educate and create accessibility for diverse travel experiences and life-long learners worldwide!"
