Portfolio

Each project is part of an ongoing collection. These examples show how I approach learning design through clarity, experience, and real-world use.

Ergonomics Training
This course supports workplace ergonomics practitioners as work arrangements shift and more employees work remotely. Learners move through realistic scenarios that reflect both in-office and remote setups, helping them assess risks and recommend practical solutions during real conversations with employees. Designing this course strengthened my ability to create learning that adapts to changing work environments.

Wildfire Smoke Awareness
This course was created to support California employees during wildfire season, when smoke conditions can change quickly and affect health and work. The experience focuses on clear, calm guidance that helps learners understand risk, take preventive action, and share information with others. The project reinforced the importance of accessible learning during high-impact, real-world situations.

Contributing as a Virtual Team Member

I focused heavily on the learner experience, designing content that feels relevant and supportive rather than overwhelming. The goal was to help learners improve their online work experience while building habits that support effective teamwork.

Digging Deep: Remixing Research
This microlearning experience helps participants assess and analyze art, culture, and everyday media they already find interesting. Learners explore how research exists across music, visuals, and cultural artifacts, building media literacy and critical thinking skills along the way. The project reflects my belief that meaningful learning can be found in all forms of culture.

Check Out the View Film Series
This community film series was created to give people space to talk through films that explore personal and complex topics. Hosting these events made me more aware of how environment, facilitation, and shared experience shape engagement, especially among people meeting for the first time. By blending learning design, entertainment, and community building, participants were able to enjoy new films while forming meaningful connections.
