I’m an instructional designer and educator dedicated to creating effective, inclusive, and outcomes-driven online learning experiences. My background as a 5th grade English and History teacher at a high-needs elementary school has shaped my commitment to educational equity and accessibility. Motivated by the literacy challenges I observed in my classroom, I pursued graduate studies in instructional technologies to deepen my ability to design standards-aligned, learner-centered instruction.

I specialize in applying research-based frameworks such as Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction and the Design Thinking process to develop engaging digital content for diverse learners. I’m experienced in end-to-end course development, from needs analysis and curriculum design to multimedia production and LMS integration. My work reflects a deep understanding of adult learners, instructional accessibility (WCAG/Section 508), and the use of innovative tools to support faculty and improve student learning outcomes in digital environments.
