Instructional Design Work Samples
With over 12 years of experience in Instructional Design, Technical Training, Adult Learning Theory, and Pedagogy, I enjoy helping organizations develop, gamify, incentivize, and facilitate Instructor-Led Training (ILT) and eLearning training curriculum. I design and develop training materials, eLearning curriculum, learning campaigns, websites and graphics for diverse organizations across industries spanning tech, healthcare, government, and correctional institutions.
My marketing campaign background allows me to create custom-built learning campaigns that gamify learning material and ensure knowledge transfer while overcoming the Forgetting Curve. My presentations and eLearning materials are professionally designed with clean, beautiful and intuitive User Interfaces (UI) and User Experiences (UX). With a career spanning marketing, graphic & web design, technical training, and curriculum development, I always strive to make learning fun yet professional, effective yet memorable.

High Scores
While training employees at America’s largest telecommunications provider, my class assessments consistently averaged 97% or higher.
MY FEATURED WORK

Girls Can Code! Intro to Java Using Minecraft
Platform: Articulate Storyline
Audience: Young girls ages 7 to 13 years
This was my first time experimenting with Articulate Storyline for my edX Micro Masters course in Instructional Design. Although my background is primarily in Adobe Captivate and Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK), I enjoyed the experience and hope to work with this software again in the future. I chose to reimagine an older curriculum I had developed for my 2013 class on using Java to create Minecraft mods. My vision is that eLearning software would allow parents to teach their children to code from the comfort of their own homes, and the children would be intrinsically motivated to learn because they want to modify their favorite video game, Minecraft.
