Instructional Designer and Learning Specialist

Hello!

As an experienced educator transitioning into instructional design, I am driven by a passion for unlocking the potential within every learner. I specialize in creating learner-centered experiences that ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and inspire inquiry, all while maintaining rigorous standards for success. My commitment is to design educational experiences that not only meet learners where they are but also guide them toward where they can go, empowering them to discover the doors that learning can open.
