Who am I?

I'm a training and instructional design specialist with over a decade of experience in teaching and training. I help connect instructors with the tools they need to make their courses engaging and collaborate with them to produce materials that are memorable, exciting, and beautiful.

I’ve been an instructional designer, an IT support professional, a technical writer, and a teacher. In each of these roles, I’ve helped people explore new ideas and technologies while maintaining their focus on a positive user experience. Whether I’m teaching a workshop on video production for a digital media studies class or helping an instructor design a creative project in virtual reality, my goal is balance the new with what works.
