My Professional Identity

As a Learning Designer, I am a creative problem-solver with a commitment to delivering high-quality work, consistently on time. My passion for lifelong learning drives me to continually develop my skills, particularly in technology and instructional design. My work is grounded in up-to-date andragogy—learning theories tailored for adult learners—and the latest educational technologies.

At its core, instructional design is about crafting learning experiences that foster meaningful change in individuals' knowledge and skills. This resonates deeply with me; I find fulfillment in shaping educational experiences that empower individuals to grow and thrive. With over 15 years in education, my expertise is both transferable and complementary to the field of instructional design. My passion for teaching and commitment to making a positive impact on learners' lives have always been my driving force.

As a first-generation college graduate, I strive to embody the representation I wished for during my own educational journey. Instructional design offers me the opportunity to leverage my classroom experience while expanding into the broader professional world. I am dedicated to designing with empathy, putting myself in the learner’s shoes, and ensuring that the learning experiences I create are diverse and inclusive. My goal is to craft educational experiences that resonate with learners on a personal level, just as I aimed to do in the classroom.
