With over a decade of experience as an instructional designer, educator, trainer, technical writer, and graphic designer, I've supported learners of all ages in a variety of contexts: academic, technical, and corporate. In that time I've developed a wide array of skills and technical expertise: e-Learning, graphic, and 3D design, videography, animation, copy-editing, and front-end programming. I'm looking for a full-time position for company that values and requires a motivated, dedicated, and flexible Instructional Designer.
I hold dual bachelor’s degrees in Art and English and a Master’s in English Writing. While in grad school, I developed and taught 27 unique courses across three universities as an adjunct instructor. In addition, I facilitated, recorded, and coordinated on-site and online tutoring sessions at UW-Milwaukee as Online Tutoring Coordinator. I'm currently employed as an Instructional Designer for Sales Enablement at Twilio.
As a writer and educator, I bring a love for sharp, crisp copy into all my projects, not limited to lectures, educational games, content marketing, technical documents, graphics, and video. On the writing side of my skills spectrum, I’m proficient with: InDesign, FrameMaker, Word, PowerPoint, Scrivener, and Prezi. On the graphics and video production side, I know: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Captivate, Audition, Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Solidworks, Blender, and Maxwell Render. Lastly, I’m familiar with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and Visual Studio Code.
