I have always had a passion for connecting learners with information. At a crossroads, I felt a desire for a new chapter that blends my love for education with the ever-evolving landscape of technology that would seamlessly blend my passion for education with the ever-changing world of technology. My library science degree allowed me to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and organization. My past experiences have allowed me to understand and apply best instructional practices to my projects. I believe in the power of combining educational technology with great teaching to create meaningful learning. I am passionate about learning, innovation, technology, and collaboration. Great learning and design has the capacity to be innovative, is adaptable, and is constantly being refined to meet the changing needs of learners.
Learners are at the center of my process as problems are identified, and effective solutions designed through collaboration and iteration. With a deliberate focus on creativity and innovation, I am committed to enhancing understanding and engagement. I am passionate about combining my expertise in instructional design with a deep understanding of adult learning principles to develop tailored learning solutions that address the unique goals and objectives of each project. My journey from the library to instructional design has not only enriched my career but has also reinforced the belief that learning is a dynamic, ever-evolving adventure.

About Me
When I'm not immersed in the world of instructional design, you'll find me with my nose buried in a good book, whipping up delightful treats in the kitchen (baking is my therapy!), or hitting the pavement for a long run with my dog.
Family holds a special place in my heart, and some of our favorite pastimes include getting together for a boardgame bonanza, a movie marathon, or to work on a puzzle. We also enjoy spending time in the beautiful NC mountains hiking and camping.
