I design instructional content, curriculum, and training experiences that turn complex information into clear, engaging, learner-centered materials. My work spans course development, instructional design, presentations, training resources, and multimedia learning content. I support projects from course planning through final delivery -- organizing content into logical learning sequences, developing objectives and activities, translating subject-matter expertise into accessible instruction, and creating polished materials that support learning. My work includes: - Curriculum and course development - Instructional design and learning activities - Training decks and facilitator materials - Video-based learning and scripts - Learner guides, job aids, and assessments - Google Slides, Docs, Sheets, and Vids - AI-supported learning and educational content With more than a decade of experience as a classroom teacher and district-level instructional leader, I bring a learner-centered approach to instructional design alongside experience in professional training, webinars, sales presentations, and client-facing content. I focus on what learners need to understand, how they’ll apply and practice it, and how content should be structured to create an effective learning experience -- while keeping real-world usability and client goals at the center. Whether you’re building a course from the ground up, redesigning existing curriculum, or creating training and presentation materials, I can help turn your content into a clear, polished, and purposeful learning experience.
