I began practicing instructional design in the late 90s, long before I ever heard the term instructional design. At the time, I thought of myself as a visual designer that had a knack for storytelling and enough programming know-how to make things work. As I began working with clients, solving problems and designing outcome-oriented solutions gave me joy.

Later in my career, I taught technology education in a K-5 school. Pulling from my experience, I developed curriculum and designed visually-appealing, interactive activities for multiple grade levels. I found myself back in the problem-solving business and, once again, relished working with people and helping them discover and learn new things.

Having worked in both the corporate and educational sectors, I have a broad perspective and experience developing training solutions for many types of industry. Now, as a freelance learning consultant and developer, I am able to customize my projects to best suit client needs and provide ongoing support. My mission is to develop professional-quality learning products that add value.
