I am a lifelong learner with a deep curiosity about how people learn and grow. Through the Applied Instructional Design Academy, I gained the tools, strategies, and hands-on experience necessary to create impactful learning solutions.
My approach is grounded in understanding the learner’s perspective and creating inclusive, engaging experiences that align seamlessly with real-world needs and outcomes. I listen carefully, adapt thoughtfully, and build with intention.
Thanks to a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, I thrive in bringing ideas from concept to completion, on time and with clarity. Whether I’m collaborating with subject matter experts or navigating shifting priorities, I stay focused, calm, and committed to delivering results that matter.
I design clear, purposeful learning solutions that support business goals, increase learner engagement, and drive measurable performance improvement. Whether you're developing scalable training, improving onboarding, or aligning learning with change initiatives, I help you create content that works.
Based in Ohio, when I'm not designing learning content, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two kids, and two dogs. I love a good book, soaking up the sun by the pool or on the beach, and cheering on my favorite hockey team.
How I Build Effective Learning Experiences
I use a variety of tools to design, develop, and deliver impactful learning experiences. These platforms support the full instructional design process, allowing me to offer a wide range of services, including eLearning development, visual content creation, curriculum planning, and collaborative project management.
Articulate 360 (Storyline, Rise): I develop interactive eLearning modules, scenario-based learning, and responsive courses that engage learners and align with business goals.
Canva: I create visually appealing job aids, infographics, course assets, and presentations that enhance understanding and retention.
Microsoft Office Suite: I use Word for documentation and job aids, PowerPoint for visual storyboarding, and Excel for organizing learning plans and tracking outcomes.
Google Workspace: I support collaboration and streamline course planning with shared Docs, Sheets, and Slides, ensuring real-time input from subject matter experts (SMEs) and stakeholders.
Learning Management Systems (LMS): I manage course uploads, learner tracking, and content testing in systems such as Canvas and D2L/Brightspace, ensuring a smooth learner experience from start to finish.
Vyond: I create animated videos that simplify complex topics, support microlearning, and bring training content to life with storytelling and visual engagement.
I continually explore new tools and technologies to provide modern, efficient, and learner-focused training solutions.
