A midwestern girl, I grew up in a family full of teachers. Both of my parents are teachers. In 2021, I received my Bachelors in Business Management and Organizational Leadership (Project Management) from Saint Petersburg College, Florida. This is when I realized that I was not only passionate about making organizations succeed but also helping others learn. In 2024, I received my Masters in Instructional Design and Technology from Purdue Global University, Indiana. I achieved my lifelong dream to learn how to teach and inspire others. By using the latest developments in technology, I can inspire learners to learn. I live in the beautiful state of Florida. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. Design is more of a conversation than a monologue. The theories that shape instructional design are many, but it is the strategy of how they are used thoughtfully for the good of others that makes all of the difference. With 25 years of corporate and learning experience, I have learned one thing. It is not about the message that you wish to convey. It is about how you communicate it to others!

In 2015, I studied Psychology while obtaining my Associates Degree from Saint Petersburg College. The theories that shape instructional design are many, but it is the strategy of how they are used thoughtfully for the good of others that makes all of the difference. The right strategy and learning theory makes learning more effective. Often times instructional designers use more than one strategy and theory or a combination to achieve exceptional results. This makes learning more fun!
Storyboarding is a crucial process in instructional design that helps plan, organize, and visualize the content and structure of a learning module. It serves as a blueprint for the development of learning experiences. This ensures consistency, efficiency, and quality in the final product. By creating detailed storyboards, I can communicate my vision, facilitate collaboration, and produce engaging learning experiences. A great story is instrumental in creating effective and memorable learning experiences!
Integrity is my top priority in everything that I do. I live by the Golden Rule!
I strive to exceed expectations daily by delivering exceptional service and quality work. I strive for excellence in all that I do.
I am courageous and take pride in my commitments. I take ownership in my behavior, actions and results.
I love helping people! I care, I am courteous and I am warm-hearted. I spread kindness and goodwill to others.
One of my professors once said to me "Creating great instructional design is like creating a work of art or sculpture!" This is why a comprehensive learner and stakeholder analysis is important. Great instructional design is in the eye of the beholder or those who gain insight from experiencing the learning journey.
Instructional design is about understanding learner needs and the stakeholder's visions. It is also about bringing concepts to life that achieve S.M.A.R.T. Objectives.
Lasting learning experiences require the right strategy and meaningful content. Significant learning experiences motivate, inspire, and intrigue learners to learn.
Winning learning solutions have a lasting impact on learners long after the learning experience is over and allows learners to transfer skills into the real world.
