Certified instructional designer with a decade of teaching experience.
What I'm looking for
As a certified educator in both Texas and Utah, I bring over a decade of diverse teaching experience and a proven track record in instructional design. My expertise lies in creating engaging, learner-centered experiences using Articulate Storyline and the ADDIE model. I am committed to leveraging data, feedback, and instructional best practices to adapt quickly to evolving learner needs, ensuring impactful and results-driven instruction.
Throughout my career, I have developed several projects, including an online introductory Algebra lesson that caters to students of all ages. My design process integrates Bloom’s taxonomy to ensure that lessons meet learner needs effectively. I also designed an immersive 360° VR Fire-Training simulation for a proposed insurance company, showcasing my ability to innovate and enhance learning experiences through technology.
In my previous roles as a Science Educator, I improved student engagement and academic performance by 20% through technology-enhanced, differentiated instruction. I have a strong background in data-driven intervention plans and have earned positive evaluations for my innovative lesson plans, which have been recognized and presented to fellow educators.
