I created this video to help people experiencing conflict learn how to resolve problems This animated video was developed as a microlearning resource for adult learners navigating interpersonal conflict in personal or professional settings. Rather than presenting a named framework in the abstract, the video follows a relatable scenario, two roommates navigating a values-based conflict, to model a practical, step-by-step resolution process. Learners see empathy, self-reflection, compromise, and non-blaming communication (I-statements) modeled in context, making the strategies immediately applicable to real situations. Animated video was chosen as the modality to allow for character-driven storytelling that would be difficult to achieve in a static format, and to demonstrate proficiency in Vyond as an authoring tool. and get the best outcome.

This Camtasia screencast tutorial was developed as a supporting asset for a larger blended learning solution: a virtual instructor-led training session focused on leveraging professional networks for job searching. One of the session's interactive review activities is a live Gimkit game, and this tutorial was designed to ensure that participants who had never used the platform could engage fully without losing time during the session. The intention was for it to serve dual purposes, as pre-work in a participant guide for learners who wanted to familiarize themselves beforehand, and as an on-demand reference during the session itself. This piece demonstrates an understanding of how supporting assets can reduce cognitive load and increase learner confidence in a live facilitated environment.

As editor-in-chief of Gaia Magazine for two years, I led every phase of a complex, multi-stakeholder publishing project from content strategy through final distribution. This role required many of the same core competencies that define effective instructional design: managing cross-functional teams of writers, editors, and photographers; setting and enforcing deadlines across multiple contributors; soliciting and curating submissions to align with audience needs; and applying visual design principles using Adobe InDesign to produce a polished, professional publication. Securing sponsorships and writing grants added a layer of stakeholder management and strategic communication that carries directly into client and SME collaboration in ID work. This publication is included in my portfolio as an early example of the project management, visual design, and editorial leadership skills that continue to shape how I approach complex learning projects today.
