Professional Biography
I am a passionate Multimedia and Instructional Design professional who thrives on bridging the gap between creative design and functional, accessible technology. My journey has been defined by a deep curiosity for how we learn and a commitment to making digital experiences inclusive for everyone.
I started my career in the world of print media, but as technology evolved, so did I. I’ve had the privilege of growing my expertise through a blend of hands-on experience and academic study—earning an A.S. in Web Design & Interactive Media from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh (2012), a B.S. in Professional Studies from Purdue University Global (2022), and currently working toward my M.S. in Instructional Design.
Since 2014, my focus has shifted toward instructional architecture, where I love the challenge of turning complex information into engaging, learner-centered experiences. Whether I’m designing accessible multimedia assets that meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a Senior Multimedia Designer at Purdue University Global, or helping healthcare teams pivot to online training during critical times, my goal remains the same: to create impactful solutions that truly help the end user.
When I’m not working on LMS migrations or coding responsive layouts with HTML5, CSS3, and WordPress, I enjoy staying on the cutting edge of design and instructional technology. I truly believe that by combining solid design principles with a heart for accessibility, we can create learning landscapes that are not just effective, but also welcoming and intuitive for every learner.
