About Me

I've spent over 5 years working in the field of learning and development. With a background as an educator, I have taught in diverse classrooms to meet the needs of English language learners, learners with disabilities, and advanced learners. I am experienced with designing and implementing training for learners of all backgrounds. I make gaining new skills intuitive, accessible, and engaging.

I feel deep satisfaction in identifying the needs of learners and finding a solution that works for them. Seeing the positive results of my instructional efforts through assessment data and genuine engagement has been one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

My Process

As an Instructional Designer, I use backward design to create my learning experiences. This means that I first determine what the learners need to be able to do, then decide how learner success will be measured, and finally I design the most efficient strategy to achieve these measurable outcomes. 

I believe that training has to be targeted, practical, and relatable to achieve its aim and I create learning experiences with plenty of examples and application opportunities. 

Personal Interests

Outside of work, I serve as a volunteer for two organizations that provide education, support and resources for those affected by mental health challenges. I am a bookworm---historical fiction is my favorite genre. When I need to get some exercise, running and yoga are my go-to activities. I love music and playing the piano.
