I am a seasoned instructional designer, multimedia specialist, and technology trainer with a rich and diverse background spanning over two decades. With a deep foundation in animation and design, I blend technical expertise with creative vision to deliver impactful learning experiences and digital content. I have led the development of many promotional and training videos, designed extensive public-facing financial reports, and created over 80 detailed training guides for statewide initiatives. My career includes roles as a Training Officer for the state of Arizona and an Adjunct Instructor at multiple colleges, on-site and online, teaching web design and Microsoft Office to both traditional students and at-risk youth. Beyond the classroom, I have contributed as a freelance video producer, animator, and concept artist, with hands-on experience in Adobe Creative Suite, Maya and Blender, and Vyond. My work includes everything from photo restoration and 3D modeling to voiceover production and compositing for film. What sets me apart is my rare combination of instructional design mastery, technical acumen, and creative storytelling. Whether developing curriculum, troubleshooting IT systems, or animating complex ideas, I am able to bring precision, empathy, and innovation to every project.
