Designing Learning Experiences,
One Classroom Lesson at a Time

For nearly 30 years — as a classroom teacher and school librarian — I’ve designed curriculum, built digital learning environments, and created engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences across K-12 settings. I’m now bringing that same learner-centered approach to higher education instructional design and corporate training, with a focus on accessible, brain-based course experiences, built in Canvas and grounded in backward design.

Explore a few of the projects, tools, and approaches I’ve built along the way.
