Filling this role has been extremely satisfying for me as I have found myself mentoring new designers and learning professionals. My experience and passion have led me to this point,  I am helping to lead a growing team of instructional designers as well as giving back to the first responder community. I am developing meaningful content that helps law enforcement officers, fire rescue personnel, local government agents, and correctional officers reach their full potential through online training. 

Focused mainly on Video development and Adobe Captivate eLearning work, I was a part of a team whose focus was on entering into the video training space. 

It was here that I got my first break into the instructional design field with adult learners. I learned so much here and cherish the time spent with this company as I was able to build from all the design skills and software I learned while in this role. 

Before diving into the world of instructional design, I spent several years in the classroom, teaching science across various grade levels. It was during this time that I discovered my knack for creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences. From flipping classrooms to experimenting with augmented reality tools, I was always on the lookout for innovative ways to make science come alive. These experiences not only honed my teaching skills but also ignited a passion for designing effective learning environments—a passion that continues to drive my work today.

Serving as a Master-at-Arms for six and a half years on active duty, I found more than discipline and structure—I discovered my passion for learning and teaching. As a military police officer, I enforced regulations, maintained security, and—perhaps most rewarding—helped train countless new recruits. Somewhere between the early morning inspections and late-night watch, I realized I didn’t just enjoy learning new skills; I thrived on helping others master them too. Ironically, it wasn’t until I left formal schooling that I truly grasped the power of education—and it’s a lesson I’ve carried into every role since.
