Hi. I am an instructional technologist & video editor.

01.

I design learning experiences that integrate instructional technology, digital storytelling, and AI to improve how we learn, think, and engage with information.

As an instructional designer, researcher, and educator, I explore how technology enhances learning, fosters critical thinking, and improves information literacy. My work spans AI-driven learning, digital media, and pedagogical research, helping learners navigate complex information landscapes while staying engaged.

With 20+ years in video production and storytelling, I’ve worked with brands like Disney, FOX, and Netflix, shaping narratives that engage audiences. I apply those storytelling techniques to instructional design to create research-backed digital learning experiences.

This year, I am presenting at AERA 2025 and E-Learning Colorado on AI, digital storytelling, and engagement in online education. My research focuses on interactive media and learning experiences that drive curiosity, problem-solving, and deeper engagement.

02.

I design custom solutions that start from the ground up, combining creative storytelling with instructional design principles. My approach integrates engaging multimedia, strategic content organization, and user-centered design to ensure accessibility and impact. I focus on building learning experiences that not only educate but also inspire, keeping learners engaged throughout the process.

Instructional Technology

I develop learner-centered experiences using TPACK and UDL, integrating AI and emerging technologies to enhance engagement. My focus is on interactive, accessible, and research-driven content for diverse audiences.

Video Editing

With 20+ years in video production, I bring stories to life through editing, motion graphics, and compelling narratives that enhance learning and engagement.

Research & Writing

I conduct research on AI, digital learning, and civic education, presenting at AERA and E-Learning Colorado. My writing explores instructional design, media literacy, and the intersection of technology and education.

Proven Collaborator

I work with multidisciplinary teams, manage projects, and adapt to both creative and technical roles. Whether leading post-production workflows or designing educational content, I ensure seamless collaboration and impactful results.
