I have devoted my entire career to designing learning experiences that serve the learners needs, not my own. It's easy for any learning designer to get caught up in all the great ideas they have for how to design a learning experience that they would enjoy and would help them learn. But all groups of learners are different and have different needs. I prefer to take a learner-centered approach, not a designer-centered one. At every step, my focus is on how my design choices will benefit the learner, even if it brings additional challenges for me.
I am a helper and a giver, especially of my time. I've coached recreational athletes of all ages, taught community education classes when I recognized there was a need, and have been unofficial tech support in my previous professional stops. I've volunteered to mentor new hires, create training experiences, and serve on committees that I know could benefit from my perspective and expertise.
I hold myself to a high standard. Whether I am serving as an employee, leader, husband, father, son, or friend, I give 100% of myself 100% of the time. My (sometimes extreme) attention to detail helps me achieve at high levels. While I know perfection is impossible, I strive for it anyway, because I know that is the only way to be exceptional. I stand firm by the motto "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right."
I am excited to begin serving learners in a new capacity as an instructional designer. If you are in need of an instructional designer, fill out the form below so we can discuss how I can help. To learn more about my skills and accomplishments, see my full resume, linked below the form.
