About Me
Instructional designer and educator with over 20 years of experience developing engaging learning experiences for diverse learners. Experienced in eLearning development, LMS integration, accessibility-focused design, and curriculum development for both traditional and online learning environments.
Accessibility & Inclusive Design
Accessibility and learner inclusion are important components of my design process. I incorporate accessibility-conscious practices such as readable typography, structured navigation, color contrast awareness, and learner-friendly organization to support diverse learning needs in online environments. My background in special education and instructional technology has strengthened my focus on creating equitable and engaging digital learning experiences.
Articulate 360
Designed and developed an interactive microlearning course in Rise 360 focused on guiding learners through the process of obtaining a marriage license in Texas. This course was created as part of a Wedding Officiant training resource and integrated into Canvas LMS for online delivery.
The module was designed using adult learning principles and organized into clear, easy-to-follow sections to reduce cognitive overload and improve learner engagement. Content includes eligibility requirements, required documentation, fees, and step-by-step application guidance presented in a user-friendly format.
