Professional Bio
I received my B.A. in English, M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration, and am pursuing my M.A in Technical Communication from the University of North Texas (UNT). With a passion for documentation, storytelling, and instruction I used my skills across various industries such as higher education, hospitality, and non-profit development.
As a Technical Communication Instructor, I design and deliver both online and in-person coursework and create hands-on activities, assessments, and multimedia learning materials that support diverse learners. While working in nonprofit development, I designed organizational training resources used to train staff across 52 campuses. In a contracted role with an independent insurance firm, I designed state-compliant learning modules for aspiring insurance adjusters and co-authored a Texas Department of Insurance–approved licensure curriculum.
Across all roles, I’ve consistently leveraged technology to enhance learning and I am seeking a role that supports the development of dynamic, high-impact training solutions.
Teaching Philosophy
At the heart of my teaching lies a belief that students learn best when they are active participants in meaningful, real-world work. Technical communication is shaped by context, ethics, empathy, and the ability to understand the needs of different audiences. My classroom is built on the premise that students learn to communicate by doing communication, not by memorizing rules or producing generic assignments.
Drawing on experiential learning theory and game-based pedagogy, I create immersive classrooms where students practice audience awareness, ethical reasoning, communication, and professional judgment in realistic scenarios.
My aspiration aligns closely with the qualities described in Ken Bain’s What the Best College Teachers Do : creating natural critical learning environments, respecting students as thinkers, designing meaningful challenges, and fostering intrinsic motivation. By centering my teaching on experiential, authentic, and human-centered practice, I hope to become the kind of educator who not only teaches skills but inspires growth.
