About

I’m an Instructional Designer at College of the Mainland with a background in higher education, faculty development, and instructional technology. I design engaging, outcomes-driven learning experiences using ADDIE and backward design, with a strong focus on adult learning, accessibility, and effective LMS use. I’ve led institution-wide faculty training initiatives, supported major LMS transitions, and collaborate closely with faculty and leadership to align professional development with institutional goals. I hold a Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA.
