Instructional designer at Winpenny School creating differentiated curricula and interactive learning experiences with AI and AR.

At Winpenny School, I design differentiated, standards-aligned curricula for 2nd-grade learners, using AI and AR tools to create interactive learning experiences. I also design instructional units and assessments for a full range of learner proficiency levels.

At Peterson Schools, Foresta International School, and Instituto Piaget, I designed and delivered curricula for K–6 learners aligned with IPC, Cambridge, and IB MYP/PYP frameworks. This work was associated with 35–50% annual improvement in standardized reading and language arts scores and 70%+ Distinguished/Merit rates on Cambridge assessments across four consecutive years.

Earlier, at Xnitio, I developed and reviewed primary-level national curriculum content. I’ve also designed business-context English curricula for adult learners and hold CELTA and Google Certified Educator certifications.
