This program is designed to take students like me and equip them with the tools necessary to reach all kinds of learners in all kinds of fields. I am currently gaining valuable experience designing instruction that would fit the needs of all kinds of businesses, content creators, contractors and more!

This program has been hands on and full of opportunities to test my abilities in simulations of real world applications. I have worked to create projects of all kinds, put in the hours doing research and analysis, and have produced work that I am currently fairly proud of, though I know in the future it will hopefully be minor in comparison.
