About Me
As a collaborative team player, my clients will receive the very best results on every project.
My Background
Moving into an instructional design (ID) career after serving 23 years as an educator is an exciting experience. Having spent five of those years working with adult learners as an instructional coach helped me form my understanding of adult learning theory and develop transferrable skills.
I have collaborated with stakeholders in designing, developing and delivering data-driven instructor-led trainings (ILT) and virtual instructor-led trainings (VILTs) that met organizational and learner needs. This was accomplished by using planning models including ADDIE processes as well as backwards design. I based my targeted trainings on needs analysis data and instructional goals which led to measurable improvements and desired outcomes.
Project management has also been a part of my experience in education as I am experienced in reporting project status updates, managing resources, assessing needs in learning programs, and managing critical deadlines.
Being well-rounded is the key to success. I am also a writer and enjoy creating poems and fictional stories. I am an avid reader of all genres of literature and enjoy visiting art galleries and exhibits. I also enjoy spending quality time with friends and family.
‘Transfer is important, but think first about the learner, then about their native environments. Then, further, let’s hope for the self-initiated application of knowledge. Unprompted. Unformatted. The spontaneous, personal, and creative application of understanding in dynamic physical and digital environments.’ –Terry Heick, teachthought
