An instructional designer creates compelling and engaging curriculums, training materials, teaching manuals, and learning experiences by designing, developing, and evaluating educational materials, courses, content, and training programs across academia, corporate environments, and government organizations. This role combines technical expertise, creativity, project management, and communication skills. 

I leverage my experience from teaching, organizing an annual digital fabrication conference, working as an educational strategist, and being an education partner manager. These experiences include lesson planning, curriculum development, project management, executing initiatives, and meeting deadlines.

Key transferable skills from previous positions include communication, curriculum development, technology integration, and project management.  Managing multiple classes and projects simultaneously in and out of the classroom has prepared me for the project-based nature of instructional design.

I am proficient in instructional design principles, learning technologies, multimedia design tools, and data analysis. I am a team player who collaborates with stakeholders and adapts to evolving project needs. While I design learning experiences, I am also continuously learning and keeping up to date with the latest trends in the field, like AI.

I excel at distilling complex concepts into easily digestible insights and transforming big ideas into clear, accessible explanations that resonate with diverse audiences. My ability to simplify without sacrificing depth allows me to bridge the gap between expert knowledge and general understanding, making even the most challenging subjects approachable and engaging. Breaking down the big idea into relatable parts ensures that abstract theories and topics become comprehensible and actionable for those seeking to expand their knowledge or apply these concepts in practical settings.
