Instructional Design
Freelance Instructional Designer
Freelancing as an instructional designer has provided invaluable hands-on experience in crafting tailored learning solutions. From collaborating with clients to identify learner needs to developing engaging eLearning modules and job aids, I’ve honed my skills in real-world scenarios. This experience has allowed me to experiment with creative tools, manage diverse projects, and adapt to unique challenges, all while building a portfolio of impactful designs. Freelancing has been a rewarding opportunity to apply my knowledge and refine my expertise in instructional design.

Graduate school has fueled my passion for innovative, learner-focused solutions in diverse educational and corporate settings.

Teaching
Texas Educator
With over nine years of experience as an educator, I have cultivated a strong foundation in teaching, curriculum development, and instructional leadership. My background includes working with diverse student populations, integrating technology into daily lessons, and creating engaging learning experiences tailored to individual needs. These experiences have shaped my ability to design impactful, learner-centered materials and foster meaningful connections in any educational setting. My journey as an educator drives my passion for creating effective instructional solutions that inspire growth and achievement.
Curriculum
I played a key role in the creation, alignment, and implementation of K-4 curriculum for my district, ensuring it met state standards and supported diverse learner needs. This included developing engaging lesson plans, integrating technology for interactive learning, and providing professional development for teachers to enhance instructional delivery. My work emphasized creating cohesive, standards-aligned content that fostered student success and streamlined teaching practices across grade levels.
Team Lead / Campus Leadership
As a team lead and campus leadership member, I honed critical skills that directly translate to success as an instructional designer. Leading grade-level teams and collaborating on campus-wide initiatives strengthened my ability to manage projects, foster collaboration, and align instructional goals with organizational objectives. I gained experience in mentoring colleagues, developing curriculum, and evaluating instructional strategies to ensure they met diverse learner needs. These leadership roles enhanced my expertise in communication, problem-solving, and strategic planning—key competencies that I now apply to designing impactful, learner-focused training solutions.
