As an instructional designer, I create learning experiences that are flexible and adaptive, designed to help learners reach their academic goals and succeed in their careers. Whether I am working in K to 12 education or for a corporation, my focus is on developing content that is easy to use, effective, and helps learners build both knowledge and practical skills. I believe that good design must serve two purposes: it should empower learners through personalized, interactive experiences while providing instructors with creative, practical tools that respect their limited time and resources. My approach is built on both formal education and real world practice. Through the University of Tampa’s Instructional Design and Technology program, I have gained a strong understanding of how people learn, which I apply to every project I build. My work as an intern at the Orlando Utilities Commission complements this by giving me hands on experience with managing projects, working with experts, and testing my designs with real users. These experiences have helped me learn how to work within budget and time limits to deliver online projects that are both impactful and accessible to everyone. My background in brand strategy also gives me a unique advantage in project management. My previous work with agencies like Hang Ten Creative has taught me how to research the people I am designing for, talk through complex needs with clients, and use professional design principles to make sure the final product looks polished and works well. By combining my knowledge of how people learn with my skills in visual design and project leadership, I am able to lead projects that meet business goals and stakeholder expectations. My goal is to continue using this combination of technical skill and a willingness to learn to lead projects that solve real world problems.
