Instructional Design

Senior Instructional Designer

With 18 years of experience at the Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute (FSI), I specialize in designing impactful digital learning experiences, knowledge management solutions, and engaging instructional content. As an agile and creative learning professional, I’ve developed and quality-checked over 50 courses, crafted guided journals and graphic novels for Foreign Service families, and played a key role in launching FSI’s Office of the Provost’s knowledge management infrastructure.

Courses I have developed for the Department of State include:

  • Cybersecurity Awareness
  • Annual Counterintelligence and Insider Threat Awareness Training
  • Protecting Personally Identifiable Information
  • Promoting International Religious Freedom
  • Overseas Crisis Readiness
  • Introduction to Risk Management at the Department of State
  • Managing a Fulbright Program at Post
  • Internet Freedom
  • Foreign Service Labor-Management Relations
  • …and dozens more

Guided Journals and Zines: As FSI supports foreign service officers and their families, I have developed materials for children of foreign service parents. These include workbooks and graphic novel zines for elementary and middle school students. These materials are available to the public.
