A Little Bit About Me...

Hello and welcome to my instructor website! I am excited to have you explore my site to learn more about who I am, my teaching philosophy, what courses I currently teach, and read some of the positive feedback I have received. 

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I lived with my mom, grandparents, and uncle while growing up. Today, it is just my mom and myself who are left in the family, so we have a close relationship. We enjoy the outdoors and local events when we can, especially when the weather is nice.

I have been working in higher education for 16 years and working as an instructional designer for 13 years. I earned both my MBA and Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology degrees online, although it has been almost 10 years since I earned my second master's degree.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe we are all on a lifelong learning journey as we learn new information and grow in our knowledge, skills, and abilities. Due to this, I have a graceful approach to my teaching and grading philosophy in the classes I teach because I know how life can get busy and the unexpected can happen while juggling school and life responsibilities. I also believe in the Golden Rule to treat others as you would want to be treated. Therefore, I honor each of my students as individuals with unique talents and abilities, given to them by God, our loving Creator. 

In addition, I regularly incorporate the following instructional design models, theories, and principles into my classroom discussions with students:

Having Some Fun!

Here are some pictures of some fun places I have been to over the years. There are also some pictures of my two cats, Romeo and Juliet, who have passed over the rainbow bridge. Enjoy the photos! 😸
