Welcome to my site! I'm an instructional designer, and I love helping people learn new subjects, upgrade their skills, and solve problems by creating interactive eLearning projects. Check them out under the Portfolio section!
With a background in research and teaching, I slowly moved into the instructional design space, eventually completing a graduate degree in the topic. Along with traditional methods and theories, I am interested in incorporating ideas from design thinking, transformative learning, and AI.
In my free time, I like practice playing the piano, go on outdoor adventures, and snuggle up with a great book in hand.
Learning should be applicable.
Learning should not be about sitting through dull "info dump" sessions. Rather, projects can be designed in a way to help learners expand their thinking and acquire skills that they can apply in the real-world.
Learning should be iterative.
Learners should have an opportunity to fix mistakes and keep trying until they fully understand the topic and can apply it well.
Learning should be tailored.
Every learner's needs and skills are different, so I try to design projects that provide extra help or an extra challenge where appropriate.
Learning should be deep.
I try to make the experience truly enjoyable for and beneficial to everyone involved, both the subject-matter experts and the target audience.
