About Me

Hello! I'm Amanda.

I create learning experiences that empower learners and impact business results. As a lifelong learner, I strive to help others succeed through meaningful learning design.

My ID Journey

I’ve always loved learning. My career has wound through different professions, but learning has always been the common thread. My previous professional experiences as an educator taught me the importance of meeting a learner where they are. Educating children brought me to a passion in educating adults. My experience in adult education began when I was asked to facilitate training for other educators. I realized in this experience that I really enjoyed helping other adults learn skills that could help them be successful in their jobs. That experience was the spark that led to my career as an Instructional Designer. Now, I design and develop creative learning experiences in the form of eLearning courses, videos, job aids, resources, and more!

My Interests

When I’m not working on a design project, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Also, as an avid learner you’ll find me reading books about an array of topics. I’m currently really into learning more about sustainability and of course all things design. I also love to be active and try to do yoga regularly. I’m also very passionate about traveling to new places and experiencing new cultures.

Achievements

Continuing to grow in my profession is important to me as an Instructional Designer. These are some professional courses or experiences that have helped me grow as an Instructional Designer.
