Educational technology professional, instructional designer, and PhD candidate passionate about making learning accessible, engaging, and effective.

The Best of Both Worlds

Creative thinker meets analytical problem-solver.

Have you ever been told that you are either a left-brained or a right-brained person? Such a thing does not really exist, but bear with me here. Some people think there are two different types of people: artistic dreamers and number-crunching analysts. Why not be both?

I have two modes I work in. The first is that of an idea person, someone who casts about for ideas and dreams of amazing things. The second is that of a critical thinker—asking for data and wanting to analyze the situation and provide technical solutions. I can work both ways: being technically adept while also looking for creative and out-of-the-box solutions.

What I Bring to the Table

Instructional Design

Grounded in ADDIE methodology and adult learning theory, I create training experiences that are relevant, engaging, and results-driven.

Educational Technology

From Articulate Storyline 360 to web development and beyond, I leverage technology to build effective and accessible learning solutions.

Training & Facilitation

An enthusiastic presenter and facilitator, I deliver workshops and trainings that leave a lasting impact and consistently earn positive feedback.
