About Me



With experience as an educator, researcher, ethnographer, and designer, I am ready for a career in Instructional Design. As a documentary filmmaker, I researched, interviewed, storyboarded, wrote papers and proposals, built corresponding websites, and edited the films. As a designer, I perform these same tasks using different technologies. I’ve spent my career thinking about people’s diverse needs, while considering the overall educational goals, then putting it all together into a thoughtful educational experience.

For the last twenty years, I have written curriculum and taught adults in a variety of settings. I have written numerous ethnographic papers, won awards for my ethnographic fieldwork, and have vast experience writing and in interviewing and testing. My specialties are Research, Curriculum Development, Teaching, Task Analysis, Storyboarding, Journey Mapping, Report Writing, and Data Collection. My skills include Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Creative Suite, Trello, Microsoft Office Suite, Camtasia, Canva, and Confluence. I also have some serious organizational skills, a great attention to detail, and an ability to bring teams together.
