I am a Learning Experience and UX/UI Designer in the Denver Metro area.  I have an MA in Learning Design and Technology, Adult Learning, and eLearning Design from the University of Colorado – Denver. My expertise lies in Learning Experience Design, education, and training development. Prior to becoming an Experience Designer, I taught middle and high school Social Studies, Economics, and Psychology from 2012 – 2018.  I spent some time on the East Coast working as a Learning and Development Specialist for a company in Washington DC and relocated back to Colorado to be closer to family. I currently work at EF Education First as an Instructional Designer, which allows me to perfectly blend my skills as a former educator with my love for EdTech, and learning design.

I am passionate about creating learning experiences that resonate with learners and help them connect with the material. As an end-to-end designer and developer, I can manage all aspects of a project from analyzing learner needs, working with SMEs, developing and aligning learning objectives, designing learning activities, Storyline design, voiceover work, basic graphic design, and evaluation. This is my area of strength, I love developing in Storyline. I push myself to learn new features and create intricate interactions using layers, triggers, and other tools. 

Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy photography, travel, fitness, baking, and painting. I also love spending time with my family and finding the best pasta dishes around town.
