Get to know my educational design and development work

Communicating effectively and managing expectations are just as important in educational development as deadlines, resources and support. Projects showcased here are a testament to that. I am grateful to have met and worked with amazing, passionate and driven educators. Be it individual consultations or team based projects, it is well worth it when positive learner outcomes are paramount to the effort.
