About Me

I am a retired Army medic and aspiring instructional designer and project-focused learning strategist specializing in performance-based training solutions for adult learners. My work integrates instructional design methodology, project management structure, and real-world operational context to create learning experiences that measurably improve performance.

My background combines graduate-level study in Instructional Design and Technology with hands-on experience coordinating complex operational workflows in facilities, construction, and cross-functional business environments. This dual perspective allows me to design instruction that is not only theoretically sound, but directly applicable to workplace performance challenges.

I design learning solutions using systematic frameworks such as ADDIE, Backward Design, and performance analysis models aligned with IBSTPI competencies. My work emphasizes alignment between learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessment methods to ensure that training produces observable, transferable skills rather than passive knowledge acquisition.

My current graduate research and applied projects focus on improving communication clarity, decision-making accuracy, and operational consistency in organizational environments. I frequently develop artifacts such as task analyses, process maps, storyboards, microlearning modules, stakeholder communication plans, and evaluation strategies that support scalable training implementation.

I have a strong interest in brain-based learning principles, adult learning theory, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and culturally responsive instructional strategies. These frameworks guide my approach to designing inclusive, accessible learning environments that support diverse learners while maintaining high performance expectations.

Professionally, I bring experience coordinating vendors, managing timelines, tracking project deliverables, and translating complex procedural information into structured guidance that teams can apply immediately. This operational background strengthens my ability to design instruction that addresses real constraints such as time pressure, competing priorities, and varying levels of prior knowledge.

My technical toolkit includes eLearning development platforms, visual design tools, project coordination systems, and collaborative workflow technologies. I prioritize clarity, usability, and measurable outcomes in every learning product I develop.

My long-term objective is to design learning systems that improve organizational communication, accelerate skill acquisition, and increase learner confidence in applying new knowledge in authentic performance contexts.
