What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead or support curriculum and instructional design work where I can create standards-aligned learning experiences, use assessment data and educator feedback to improve outcomes, and build clear, accessible resources for diverse learners.

I’m a curriculum and instructional design professional with 8+ years of experience developing structured, standards-aligned learning experiences for diverse learner populations. I translate complex academic concepts into clear, organized instructional content using effective sequencing, scaffolding, and learning progression strategies—always with measurable learning outcomes in mind.

In my classroom work, I design and develop instructional units, lesson sequences, learning modules, and assessments, then refine them using student performance data, educator feedback, and implementation results. From in-person to blended and virtual environments, I build digital learning materials, maintain curriculum documentation for consistency, and ensure standards alignment and quality assurance through continuous improvement.
