Designing Engaging, Learner-Centered Educational Experiences

My background in art education, photography, and instructional technology allows me to approach learning design through both a creative and pedagogical lens.

I hold an M.Ed. in Instructional Design & Technology from Texas Tech University and have experience developing curriculum, online learning experiences, video-based instruction, assessments, and educational resources for both children and adult learners.

I believe effective instruction should be visually engaging, accessible, and grounded in meaningful learning experiences. Whether designing a classroom lesson, an online course, or a downloadable educational resource, I aim to create learning experiences that are clear, motivating, and responsive to learner needs.
