ABOUT ME

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

With over six years of experience in instructional design and educational technology, I have partnered with faculty, subject-matter experts, and institutional stakeholders to design, develop, evaluate, and improve online learning experiences. My work brings together instructional strategy, learning technology, accessibility, visual design, and emerging technologies—including generative AI—to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that support learner success and organizational goals.

​

I value lifelong learning and enjoy collaborating with people from diverse cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds. Learning from others, exchanging ideas, and understanding their needs continually challenge me to think creatively and approach problems from new perspectives. I am especially passionate about integrating my graphic design skills into instructional design, combining creativity, technology, and thoughtful design to develop learning experiences that are engaging, accessible, and impactful.
