I was the kid who read encyclopedias for fun (no, really). I have an insatiable curiosity that I use not only to increase my own knowledge, but also to create ways for others to learn as well. My passion for writing and storytelling combined with my neverending quest for knowledge make me the ideal instructional designer for your team :)
Learning should be fun, so I try to find creative, interactive, and visually pleasing ways to keep learners engaged. I use my storytelling skills combined with learning theories to create engaging and effective trainings and courses. My diverse background and love for learning help me collaborate with SMEs and create inclusive, interesting trainings and courses for learners of all backgrounds.
I'm also a University of Maryland grad (go Terps!) and received a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Literature, with a concentration in creative writing. I'm a game connoisseur (video and board), lover of pop culture, and hoarder of books. I'm passionate about social justice and animals. I'm an East Coast girl living in Dallas, TX with my little alien cat.

My Process
🧐 Analyze
I begin every project by defining the learning objectives and understanding the audience.
🎨 Design
I then create a design document outlining the content, design elements, interactive elements, multimedia, and assessments.
🛠️ Develop & Implement
I create the various parts of the project and follow my design document as a guide. I use the guidelines set by my client as well as my own knowledge and experience to put it all together effectively.
✅ Evaluate
I test the project to make sure it flows well and is an effective asset for my client. If needed, I will go back and redo the parts that are not working until everything is to my client's standard.
