Summary
I’m an instructional designer, educator, USAF Veteran, and proud father with more than 10 years of experience creating meaningful learning experiences across K–12, adult learning, and instructional technology environments. My career has been shaped by a commitment to service, growth, and helping others succeed—whether in the classroom, through technology, or in professional development settings.
Currently, I serve as an Instructional Systems Designer/Developer at AdventHealth, where I collaborate with subject matter experts, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to identify learning needs and build engaging digital training solutions. My work includes developing interactive eLearning, multimedia assets, instructional videos, job aids, and performance support materials, as well as managing course delivery in LMS platforms such as SABA and Workday.
I hold a Master’s in Instructional Design and Technology and bring a strong foundation in adult learning principles, accessibility, evidence-based instructional design, project coordination, and stakeholder communication. I enjoy combining tools like Articulate 360, Adobe Creative Cloud, Camtasia, Vyond, Canva, and Synthesia with thoughtful instructional strategy to create learning that is practical, engaging, and effective.
Before transitioning fully into instructional design, I spent years as an educator and technology facilitator, experiences that continue to shape how I approach learning design today. I believe the best learning experiences are clear, human-centered, and built to meet people where they are. Whether I’m designing for healthcare professionals, supporting organizational learning, or exploring new ways to use emerging technology, my focus remains the same: creating tools and experiences that help people grow with confidence.
