Collaboration

I collaborate with faculty, subject matter experts, and program teams to design learning experiences that are clear, engaging, and aligned with course and program goals. My approach focuses on building trust, simplifying complexity, and creating structure in fast-paced or ambiguous environments.

How I Work with Faculty and Stakeholders

Building Alignment

Translate faculty expertise into structured, student-centered learning experiences aligned with objectives and assessments.

Guiding the Process

Provide clear direction, timelines, and decision points to move projects from idea to implementation efficiently.

Balancing Flexibility and Structure

Adjust communication and workflows to match different working styles while maintaining consistency and quality.

Examples of Collaboration

Multi-Faculty Course Alignment - ACC 231

Collaborated with three faculty members and the McGraw-Hill team to design a cohesive, high-enrollment course experience. Aligned course objectives, assessments, and publisher content while ensuring a consistent structure across sections. Acted as a bridge between internal faculty needs and external platform capabilities to create a seamless experience for over 1,800 students per semester.

Program-Level Redesign - ACCLaIM

Led collaboration across multiple courses and stakeholders for an eight-course Department of Education initiative. Established a consistent design approach, aligned course structures, and ensured quality and scalability across the program.

Cross-Institutional Collaboration - Horace Mann

Partnered with an external organization to design interactive learning experiences using Articulate Rise. Translated content into an engaging format while aligning stakeholder expectations and maintaining usability and accessibility.

Faculty Support and Iteration

Partnered with faculty to refine course materials, troubleshoot challenges, and continuously improve course design based on student needs and feedback.

How I Communicate

Setting Clear Expectation

I establish timelines, deliverables, and roles early in the process so faculty and stakeholders know what to expect and when. This helps reduce confusion and keeps projects on track, especially under tight deadlines.

Simplifying Complex Decisions

I break down complex instructional design decisions into clear options, helping faculty make informed choices without feeling overwhelmed.

Facilitating Alignment Across Stakeholders

When working with multiple faculty or external partners, I act as a central point of coordination, ensuring that decisions are aligned and communication remains consistent.

Maintaining Momentum

I use regular check-ins, progress updates, and structured feedback cycles to keep projects moving forward and avoid delays.

Adapting Communication Styles

I tailor my communication approach based on the needs and preferences of each faculty member or team, balancing flexibility with structure.
