About Me

I’m an instructional designer, curriculum developer, and educator with over 14 years of experience in education and 4+ years creating engaging, results-driven learning experiences for adult learners across a variety of industries. I’ve worked with instructional design companies and independently through my own design business, partnering with everyone from small business owners to large organizations to develop meaningful, learner-centered solutions.

My recent work spans technical training, healthcare education, early childhood learning, and interactive digital curriculum development. I've designed everything from corrosion technician certification and field safety courses to healthcare compliance training, interactive literacy programs, and accessible communication tools. Projects like Child Quest, Cursively, and Chat Chat have allowed me to combine my background in education with my passion for creative, accessible learning experiences.

I specialize in scenario-based learning, storytelling, gamification, and interactive course development. I use instructional design methodologies like ADDIE and SAM to create learning experiences that go beyond simply delivering information. Whether I'm developing realistic workplace scenarios, interactive assessments, animated training videos, or hands-on practice activities, my goal is to help learners apply what they've learned in meaningful ways.

I'm experienced in collaborating with subject matter experts and stakeholders to transform complex information into clear, engaging instruction. My toolkit includes Articulate Storyline and Rise 360, Genially, Camtasia, Vyond, Canva, Figma, and AI-powered content creation tools. I also develop custom graphics, videos, workbooks, and interactive learning materials to create cohesive learning experiences.

My background as an elementary educator gives me a strong foundation in differentiation, structured literacy, assessment design, and data-driven instruction. I've led professional development, developed asynchronous learning programs, and created everything from bite-sized microlearning experiences to comprehensive certification courses.

Above all, I believe effective learning should be engaging, accessible, and practical. I love finding creative ways to turn complex information into experiences that make learning stick.
