About Me

With over 16 years of experience in higher education and extensive experience across K–12 educational settings, I specialize in designing engaging, accessible, and standards-aligned learning experiences for diverse learners. My expertise includes developing and fully facilitating online undergraduate and graduate courses, collaborating with faculty to align curricula with academic standards, and creating multimodal instructional assets that support meaningful, practice-based learning.

My professional background spans higher education and K–12 contexts, including special education, ESOL, career and technical education, and instructional coaching. This breadth of experience enables me to design instruction that is pedagogically sound, academically rigorous, and practical for real-world application. I intentionally build learning experiences that account for learner variability, promote active engagement, and translate seamlessly into instructional practice.

Grounded in equity, differentiation, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), my work supports teacher preparation, professional learning, and higher education programs by ensuring learning environments are inclusive, relevant, and sustainable.

Using tools such as Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise), Camtasia, Canva, and LMS platforms, I create interactive modules, multimedia instructional assets, and practice-based learning experiences. Whether managing multi-phase course development projects, developing interactive modules for teacher candidates, creating microlearning for educators, or designing student-facing instructional content, my goal is consistent: to produce learning experiences that are clear, academically rigorous, meaningful, and impactful.

My work is strengthened by advanced graduate study in Instructional Design and Performance Technology, with a focus on learning theory, instructional systems design, and performance improvement. I also bring graduate-level training in Artificial Intelligence Applications, Current and Emerging Instructional Technology, Human Performance Improvement, and Online Teaching and Learning, supporting my ability to design future-ready, technology-enhanced learning environments.

Degrees in Special Education, Health Information Technology, and Criminology provide a deep understanding of learner variability, data-informed decision-making, and system-level thinking. This combination of higher education teaching experience, instructional design expertise, project management capability, and cross-disciplinary insight enables me to design learning that is not only engaging but also usable, inclusive, scalable, and sustainable across both higher education and K–12 environments.
