I’m an educator, a coach, and someone who’s deeply interested in resource creation. After spending 8 years in the classroom teaching English and creating my own lessons and content, I left to become a Student Success Coach at the world-changing B corp Guild Education.

While I enjoyed the act of teaching itself, I found a particular passion in writing creative lesson plans, creating supplemental resources, and designing a learning experience that eliminated ambiguity and fostered independence by implementing concise and clearly written directives supported by strong visual cues. By my fifth year of teaching, I began imagining a career creating effective, engaging, and accessible learning or training content in either an educational or corporate setting. After eight years of teaching, I was ready for a change, and was excited to accept the opportunity to witness first hand how education, technology, and a mission of equity came together at Guild. 

I’m also currently enrolled in the Masters of Learning Design and Technology at the University of Colorado Denver. While enrolled in the program, I’ve learned many different learning design processes and when to employ them. I’ve also learned best practices when it comes to writing clear and learner-focused content, as well as how to use various tools and media in order to make that content attractive and engaging. Between my inherent skill of writing and creating with an audience in mind and my desire to grow in the areas of content creation, project management, and design, I am looking forward to establishing a career in content and resource design as it relates to any learning environment–educational or corporate.
