Turning Ideas Into Light: Instructional Design That Shines

I’m an instructional designer and educator with 13+ years of experience in K–12 education, specializing in creating engaging, accessible, and standards-aligned learning experiences for students and teachers. With a background spanning special education, ESOL, CTE, and instructional design, I focus on designing instruction that supports diverse learners, promotes active engagement, and translates seamlessly into real classroom practice. My work blends research-based strategies, thoughtful use of technology, and a deep understanding of how learners learn—so instruction isn’t just well-designed, but truly impactful.

Explore a range of interactive learning experiences I’ve designed, from scenario-based modules and gamification to microlearning and virtual scavenger hunts. Each sample highlights how I apply instructional strategies and technology to create engaging, outcomes-focused learning.

I use storytelling to bring instructional design to life. Explore my Storytelling Designs, including Gemini StoryBook projects, that transform traditional content into narrative-driven, interactive experiences.

See how I integrate artificial intelligence into instructional design through assignments, simulations, and learning activities. From AI-powered pitch simulations to classroom-ready assignments, these designs show how students and professionals alike can learn to use AI responsibly and effectively.

This section showcases my ability to design facilitator-led training experiences across higher education and corporate contexts. Featured designs include a Digital Supply Chains training for corporate audiences and a Total Physical Response (TPR) training for teacher candidates in higher education.
