As an instructional designer, I am passionate about creating engaging, learner-centered experiences that bridge the gap between knowledge and application. With a strong foundation in adult learning theory, ADDIE and SAM design models, and technology integration, I design instructional materials that are accessible, effective, and aligned with organizational goals.
As an experienced educator, I have developed a strong ability to condense and clarify complicated information into small, meaningful pieces of learning material. Through the use of real-life examples and scenario-based conversations, I assemble learning experiences that allow the learner to complete the training feeling confident in their new knowledge and the application of that knowledge in their work.
Through collaboration with subject matter experts and stakeholders, I will analyze learner needs in conjunction with the company’s LMS platform and eLearning software. The end result will be learning materials that will deliver impactful solutions. My goal is to empower learners and support continuous growth through thoughtful, data-informed design.
When I am not working, I spend as much time as possible with my husband and our family. I enjoy reading, hiking, kayaking, and camping.
