About Me
After more than a decade of applying educational technologies in teaching English as a second language in higher education, I’m now bringing that experience into instructional design.
I’m excited to use my deep understanding of the learning process to build engaging and meaningful eLearning experiences. My goal is to create learning content that is applicable to the learner’s real-world needs.
