Resume
About
I'm a creative communicator with a background in education, digital design and content development. I’m passionate about crafting thoughtful, engaging digital experiences, whether that is through clear instructional design, visually compelling storytelling or user-first content strategies.
​
After more than a decade in teaching, I’ve transitioned into the digital education space where I now work as a Learning Designer, collaborating with universities to deliver interactive, accessible online courses. Along the way, I’ve developed strong technical instincts, built a suite of transferable digital skills and discovered how much I enjoy the intersection of design, technology and communication.
I’m now seeking a new opportunity to apply these skills in a broader digital environment where I can keep learning, contribute creatively, and help shape meaningful online experiences for a wider audience.
