About Me

I have always enjoyed working with learners and seeing the lightbulb go off when they have learned a new skill or concept.  As a former educator, I dedicated over 20 years to education as an elementary school teacher, dyslexia center director, and  undergraduate/graduate online instructor. 

As the director of a dyslexia center, I spent time observing and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of tutor trainees so that I could determine if they would be effective tutors of students with dyslexia.  These experiences began my path and interest in instructional design. 

I enrolled in the Applied Instructional Design Academy (AIDA)  to improve my skills in the areas of adult learning and authoring tools.  I have always loved working with curriculum and assessment tools.  My experiences in AIDA have given me the opportunity to improve my designing and evaluating of eLearning experiences. 

When I am not working on instructional design projects, I enjoy spending time with my family, cruising, and reading.
