Educating Through Long-Form Writing
Writing Samples
After earning a Masters in Professional Writing, I worked for a financial operations professional development publisher writing benchmark reports and long-form writing pieces. These examples show two of the most common pieces I wrote - educational and interest.

Enabling Others Through Events
Organized Design Upskilling Conferences
Instructional design is a great passion of mine. I spent the early 2000s as a highschool teacher, and the same drive to plant seeds in others and watch them grow that carried me then, carries me now. Simply put, I am vigorous in my pursuit to grow others in design.
While there are many ways this has taken form, perhaps my most rewarding experiences have stemmed from organizing two large design conferences attended by over 500 instructional designers and learning professionals. I organized the event to include a total of over 10 workshops, 40 breakout sessions, and guest key note speakers. These video trailers provide some insight into what was covered in the experiences.
A Note About Video Development
I created these videos using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere. Adobe media assets from Adobe Stock were used to create them.
Print Materials for Conferences
In addition to organizing internal design events, I am passionate about bringing the company’s mission to the masses through leadership conferences. While my favorite part is connecting with others, I also enjoy designing branded materials. These are two examples of 8-foot banners designed using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign that were printed for conferences.
