Instructional Design and Learning Program Management

My instructional design philosophy is guided by my background as a scientist. Researching and testing hypotheses, receiving feedback, and consistently evolving with new information are all components of how I design learning experiences. Science is meant to incite change, and so is the learning I design. As an instructional designer and manager of learning programs, I specialize in analysis of learning environments and matching organizational needs with appropriate solutions, even if training is not the solution!

I have over 5 years experience supporting the enablement of tens of thousands of tech learners. I have worked with partners in corporate, federal government, and higher education. I have developed legacy learning programs that consisted of solely instructor-led training into diverse, accessible, and fit for purpose programs that scale to a national level. In 2023, I was awarded a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant to support machine learning literacy in the Earth Systems Science workforce.

To work with me is to work with a strategic partner. Together, we determine real needs and define desired outcomes. We develop thoughtful and creative solutions that deliver results.

“You are helping to level up all the students who do not have a background in programming and allowing them to successfully complete their future research work.”
