What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in instructional design to create impactful learning experiences.

I am a dedicated instructional designer and eLearning development expert with over a decade of experience in creating engaging and effective learning experiences. As the founder of Alexandria's Design, I have successfully collaborated with various organizations, including the United States Army and Microsoft, to develop innovative training solutions that enhance learner engagement and motivation.

My expertise lies in applying instructional design models such as ADDIE and SAM to create mobile-optimized learning platforms and project-based learning modules. I have a strong background in multicultural education and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which informs my approach to designing inclusive and accessible learning experiences. My commitment to continuous improvement and strategic partnerships has led to high-profile client engagements and successful project outcomes.
