I am a collaborative, change management oriented instructional designer who delivers transformative learning experiences. My curiosity about people and discovering effective teaching-learning methods has led me all over the world and afforded me a repertoire of skillsets. From teaching reading, writing, and language to directing a multi-million-dollar college prep grant for at-risk students in California, I have always leveraged technology alongside storytelling to author learning experiences. Metaphor is the vehicle through which I learn and help others learn as well. Since studying the intersections of learning and technology while earning my doctorate from the school of Education and Information Studies at UCLA, I have been providing customizable, scalable training and teaching tools for businesses and non-profits. I’m always energized by the skills, knowledge, and experience of subject matter experts and am passionate about shaping the landscape of online learning alongside other leaders. If your business needs extraordinary learning results or if you are also inspired by this field as well, I would like to connect with you!
