About Me

From teacher to curriculum & instruction leader to instructional designer, my main objective has always been to create learning that changes what people can do.

As an instructor at the community college level for over a decade, I consistently made classroom content come alive and immediately relevant to my students’ everyday experiences and goals. 

As a curriculum and instruction leader, I tailored learning to very specific groups of learners to make it accessible and effective in their contexts. I ensured that instructors were supported, trained, and empowered to do their jobs well. 

As an instructional designer, I continue to create learning experiences that are purposeful, practical, and built around the people who will use them. I’m interested in more than simply delivering information. I want to understand the need behind the learning request, identify what people need to be able to do, and design an experience that helps them get there. 

I build on the foundation of my prior experience to design and develop a wide variety of courses, workshops, eLearning and instructional materials that help learners move from “I understand this” to “I can do this.” 

I hold an ATD Certificate in E-Learning Instructional Design and an MA in Teaching English as a Second Language.
