As a lifelong learner dedicated to personal and professional growth, I have pursued and attained four college degrees. My journey has been shaped by a deep-seated love for learning new things, a passion that seamlessly integrates with my role as an Instructional Designer and e-Learning Developer. This career path allows me to not only create engaging learning experiences but also to continually expand my own knowledge and skills.
Leveraging frameworks such as ADDIE and SAM, I consistently deliver impactful learning solutions. Infusing creativity and interactivity into every project, I strive to empower employees to achieve new levels of success. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes, but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement within organizations.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in the changing seasons and cherish time spent with family and friends. I like to travel on occasion and have a passion for discovering new restaurants and unwinding with movies. Whether exploring nature through hiking adventures or finding tranquility in my own backyard, I find a profound sense of inspiration and relaxation in these diverse experiences.
The final badge, "Applied Instructional Design Certification," is the culmination of a 9-month program called Applied Instructional Design Academy. It is earned after completing the ID Fundamentals, Rise, Storyline, eLearning Development, and Instructional Design Process badges. Earners complete 400+ lessons, receive extensive coaching, and complete a rigorous set of learning activities with practice, feedback, multiple revisions, and the completion of simulated client projects. Earners create a portfolio that must pass certain criteria.
