About Me
Hello! I'm Ray, a lifelong learner and experienced education leader.
I have been designing learning and development experiences for 14 years. My experience includes classroom teaching, leading training programs, creating learning aids, mentoring fellow educators, and coordinating the implementation of new education strategies.
Professional Experience
I am a dedicated instructional designer with a passion for crafting engaging and effective learning experiences. Through my years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in designing and developing innovative instructional materials that cater to diverse learning styles.
My expertise includes curriculum development, e-learning course design, and the integration of emerging technologies to enhance the learning process. I am well-versed in conducting needs assessments, collaborating with subject matter experts, and leveraging instructional design models to create high-impact training solutions.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to creating learning experiences that drive knowledge retention and skills mastery. I am excited by opportunities to leverage my creativity and passion for instructional design in order to empower learners and achieve organizational goals.
Talent Development
I have a strong commitment to professional development and equity advocacy. My experience as a mentor to fellow educators, along with my role in training businesses on neurodiversity, underscores my passion for fostering growth and inclusivity. Additionally, I have actively contributed to my local school district's equity, curriculum development, and technology integration committees. This involvement has allowed me to present at school board meetings, district advisory council gatherings, and conduct staff training sessions for fellow educators. These experiences have equipped me with a unique perspective on driving positive change within professional settings and empowering educators to excel in their roles.
Personal Interests
When I'm not crafting effective learning experiences, you can find me immersed in the worlds of gaming, nurturing herbs in my garden, and dedicating my free time to volunteer work. Just like an enjoyable game, I believe that every learning journey should be thoughtfully designed to guide participants toward success. I believe that my interests contribute to the unique blend of creativity and analytical thinking that I bring to my work.
