Multi-Disciplinary Educator & Writer

Leveraging a robust blend of expertise in educational psychology and technology, I am a seasoned instructional designer dedicated to crafting transformative eLearning experiences. I hold a Master's degree in Educational Psychology and a Graduate Certificate in Educational Technology from Rutgers University, signaling a deep understanding of learning, cognition, and development principles. My repertoire spans from developing STEM curriculum for younger learners to designing immersive Continuing Medical Education (CME) modules for professionals, ensuring that each educational solution resonates with its intended audience. Beyond instructional design, my acumen extends to technical writing, where I excel in making complex scientific and medical concepts accessible through clear, concise prose. This skill is complemented by a track record of successful grants and articles, underpinned by my extensive work with various stakeholders, including esteemed clients like Microsoft and key government agencies. I'm eager to partner with visionary clients seeking to elevate their educational content and drive learner engagement through innovative, evidence-based strategies.
