What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design learner-centered digital, blended, and performance-support resources while partnering with subject matter experts and cross-functional teams to improve learning outcomes.

I've designed curriculum, assessments, multimedia resources, and learner support materials for K–12, higher education, and corporate learning. At Quest Diagnostics, I developed training materials, job aids, and instructional documentation with subject matter experts and cross-functional teams.

At the University of Tampa, I've created academic success resources and multimedia instruction using Articulate 360 and Camtasia, while analyzing student performance data to improve support programs. As an English teacher, I designed standards-aligned instruction for 150+ students and contributed to a reported 15% improvement in writing proficiency.
