Professional summary

Instructional Designer with an M.A. in Instructional Design and Technology, working across online, hybrid, and face-to-face degree programs for higher education. I partner with faculty, subject matter experts, and academic leadership to build the course from the ground up rather than adapt someone else's; the ADDIE model and Universal Design for Learning give that process its shape. I hold a Google AI Professional Certificate and use AI throughout the design lifecycle, from early brainstorming through content creation, treating it as a drafting tool that still gets reviewed and reshaped against the actual learning goals. Formal Scrum Master training rounds this out, since managing a course build is, in practice, a project management problem as much as a design one.
