Below is a selection of my work as an instructional designer. Currently, I am a Learning Experience Designer at Dartmouth Health, where I focus on developing essential annual learning and new hire education, using learning analytics to improve patient safety. My journey began as an Educational Technologist at Alvernia University and continued as an Instructional Designer for Drexel University. There, I supported faculty in curriculum development, Blackboard course implementation, and creating interactive lectures.
