Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Embedded Files
I'm an instructional designer by trade, a storyteller by heart, and a life-long learner.
Growing up in Colorado in a family of teachers, I learned early on that stories are the narratives that people remember. If you can tell a story visually, that's even better! And that is how I became an instructional designer.
I've worked for public schools, government contractors, and Fortune 200 companies. At each place, I've learned more about my trade, myself, and how to become a better human being!
