I am Emily Myers, an instructional designer with a unique blend of experience in both K-12 and post-secondary education. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with Bachelor of Education, I spent three years as a high school science teacher in the Cincinnati area, where I had the opportunity to share my love for science, teach young minds, and foster a love and confidence in learning. Since then, my journey in the world of education has evolved into higher education and instructional design where I am able to create engaging and data-driven learning experiences that support students in their own educational journeys.  

As the Program Manager for New Student Orientation at the University of Cincinnati (UC), I now guide incoming first-year students through their transition to UC, using my background in teaching and curriculum development to create experiences that help them feel welcomed, prepared, connected, and excited for their time as a Bearcat. I create comprehensive training materials for Student Orientation Assistants to ensure that they have the tools needed to welcome new students effectively. Additionally, I design both in-person and online orientation content that supports new students in navigating their transition to UC. Through all my work, my goal is to ensure that students not only have the tools that they need to succeed and learn but do so with confidence.  

I believe that every student deserves a learning environment where they feel supported and empowered to learn and grow. That is why I center my work around empathy, humor, and personalization. Whether I am designing new science curriculum or orientation programing, I bring a passion for education that encourages growth and positivity. I am committed to making a difference for students and learners by designing learning experiences that are effective, meaningful, and engaging. I invite you to explore my portfolio and see how my approach to learning can create educational experiences that are exciting, empowering, and engaging for both learners and educators.
