Nestled in the heart of Northwest Indiana, I am a certified Instructional Designer with a Master of Science in Instructional Design Technology.
My career is fueled by a passion for creating interactive, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences that make a lasting impact.
As an instructional designer, I bring a strong understanding of adult learning principles and a passion for creating engaging, results-driven training experiences. I design tailored learning solutions that address real performance needs, using innovative methods and technology to improve retention, application, and on-the-job performance. My collaborative approach ensures training aligns with organizational goals and supports measurable business outcomes.
Outside of my professional work, I’m also a writer and creative thinker. I enjoy writing as a hobby and have authored and published a book, which has strengthened my storytelling skills and ability to communicate complex ideas with clarity. I bring this same creativity and attention to detail into instructional design, helping organizations build meaningful learning experiences that inspire and empower employees to grow.
With a unique background in the public utility sector, specifically in water and wastewater services, I’ve had the privilege of supporting systems that serve 14 million people across 24 states in the U.S. My experiences have shaped my approach to design, emphasizing clarity, accessibility, and real-world impact.
