Instructor's Courses

I began in front-end web development and animation, working in Adobe Animate (then known as Flash). Later, teaching face-to-face classes as an Adobe Certified Instructor sparked a passion for teaching, instructional design and instructional development. I taught Flash (now Animate CC) and Captivate for a decade, concurrently working as an instructional designer/developer. I've authored 14 courses for LinkedIn Learning on Captivate, Adobe Animate, instructional design and other topics, with more to come. I currently work as an instructional designer/developer within an Agile environment, and occasionally speak and lead online workshops. I love teaching, learning, and learning from teaching! I believe attention to detail, collaboration, laughter, hard work, and optimism are keys to success! Within instructional design I am particularly interested in interactive storytelling, visual design, application of VR, clear communication and creativity.
