I hold a Master’s degree in Instructional Design & Technology from the University of Central Florida, specializing in Instructional Systems and Interactive Simulations. My academic foundation began at Maryville College, where I completed my first college courses in American Sign Language Interpreting—an experience that helped shape my enduring interest in accessibility and inclusive communication.

I later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Technology Development and Management with a concentration in Software Development from St. Petersburg College, along with two Associate of Science degrees in Data Science and Cybersecurity.

Professionally, I am passionate about the intersection of technology, education, and accessibility. My interests include computer programming, instructional design, mathematics, and supporting learning for all through accessible and inclusive practices. As a lifelong learner, I’m always eager to explore new topics and tools that enhance digital learning experiences.

In my free time, I enjoy building LEGO creations, visiting Disney parks, writing computer programs, and crafting through knitting and crocheting.
