Hey there, it's nice to meet you!
What's my story?
I graduated from the College of Business at UTA with a B.A. in Business Administration and Management. During and after college, I worked for various industries as a project coordinator, then became a teacher, before blossoming into an instructional designer.
What's my philosophy?
Quality learner-centered design consists of 3 important pillars:
1) Questions, questions, questions!
2) Empathy for the learner
3) Consistently asking for and implementing feedback
What makes me a great L&D Specialist?
My diverse background has gifted me with a unique collection of project management, problem solving, and instructional skills.
As a project coordinator, I organized and streamlined end-to-end processes for projects to increase production and efficiency.
As a former math instructor, I literally specialized in creative problem solving, data analysis, and process improvement.
As an employee trainer, I initiated learning solutions that empowered my colleagues with the knowledge, skills and vital resources they needed to thrive each day.
As a life long learner, I am naturally curious with a growth mindset. I love troubleshooting and I'm always in pursuit of the "how and why" and I view failure as an opportunity to grow!
When I'm not designing great learning experiences, you can catch me indulging in three E's:
Eating- I didn't choose the foodie life, the foodie life chose me!
Exploring- I love trying new things, finding hidden gems, hiking or anything nature related.
Enjoyment- I'm goofy and truly believe laughter is the best medicine.. so I try to do it as much as possible!
