Instructional Design Projects

My instructional design work focuses on creating engaging, accessible, and technology-enhanced learning experiences for diverse learners. Drawing on my background in applied linguistics, language education, educational technology, and online teaching, I design learning experiences that connect clear learning objectives with meaningful activities, authentic materials, and purposeful uses of technology.

My work includes online and asynchronous course design, professional development, webinar development, AI-enhanced learning, academic and language-learning materials, and technology integration.
