Experience
15 years across web design, education, corporate training, and instructional design. I have worked as a paraeducator with special needs students, a classroom and virtual teacher across Colorado and Texas, a curriculum coordinator, and an L&D specialist in hospitality and corporate settings. I am currently in the classroom and finishing my M.S. in Instructional Design and Technology. I know what works because I have done the job at every level.
Teaching style
I teach the way I game: fast-paced, layered, and always with a clear objective. My classroom runs on short bursts of direct instruction paired with application activities, discussion, and student-driven analysis. My instructional design background means I think about every resource in terms of learning outcomes, cognitive load, and accessibility before I think about aesthetics. I believe students rise to high expectations when you give them the right scaffolds to get there.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Watching a student who "hates reading" write a paragraph they are genuinely proud of is the only award that matters to me. My best moments have come from students who came in convinced they couldn't do the work and left with evidence that they could. That is what I design for, in the classroom and everywhere else.
My own education history
B.A. in Journalism and Technical Communications and Minor in Information Science and Technology & M.A. in Education, secondary ELA focus. Currently completing my M.S. in Instructional Design and Technology at Full Sail University, graduating November 2026. My professional work in instructional design and web design has run alongside my classroom career the whole time, and both show up in how I build resources.
Additional biographical information
Outside the classroom I'm a Twitch and YouTube content creator, a member of a chaotic gaming squad called Team BDYDB, and someone who genuinely believes that games and gamified learning are underused tools in secondary education. Thirteen Tabs is where that belief meets real classroom materials.
