About Instructor

I am a technical trainer and e-learning curriculum developer with expertise in community building and accessible technology currently working on my second master’s degree in digital curriculum design and digital publishing with a focus on accessibility, creating learning experiences based on the principles of trauma-informed learning and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Results will follow when we customize our instructional designs to meet real people’s learning needs. I hold an M.Ed in Assistive Technology with specialties in Universal Design for Learning, Project Based Learning Curriculum Design and Instructional Design.

For 10+ years, I have been working within learning institutions as an inclusive certified curriculum developer, and bring an additional 8 years of insight as an instructional design advisor, working with both adult learners as well as with organizations such as Generation Mindful, Missouri Assistive Technology, Gentle Season, the Special School District of St. Louis County, and the Integrate Trauma-Informed Network, which I co-founded and currently lead in building trauma Informed community experiences, working with subject matter experts (SMES) in the field of mental health and wellness.

I am passionate about co-creating inclusive and approachable learning opportunities and social learning communities for all types of adult learners in the educational, small business, and not-for-profit sectors. directions
