Kahoot
I am a lifelong learner, and this love of learning has always gone hand in hand with helping others learn. As a former educator, I have dedicated many years to teaching a variety of learners ranging from children with disabilities to adults working toward their GED. In these roles, I spent a lot of my time observing and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of my learners and designing and developing training to fill the learning gaps.
When I design learning experiences, I always consider the end goal first and then work backwards. After conducting a gap analysis, I analyze the data collected to identify appropriate learning objectives. I love the challenge of figuring out the best training plan to meet the needs identified and fill the gaps. I strive to ensure the learning experiences I create are both meaningful and engaging, and that they will ultimately lead to behavior change that promotes greater success for both the learners as well as organizational goals.
When I'm not busy designing, developing, and/or implementing learning opportunities I can be found chasing my two adorable boys around. I also enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time at the beach.

Certifications
I completed a course with Applied Instructional Design Academy, which helped fill the knowledge gaps I had with both the technical tools and adult learning theories I needed to be familiar with in order to be successful in the field of instructional design. As I moved through this course and filled these knowledge gaps, I was able to earn badges through Credly.
