Hello! I'm Maddie.

After teaching middle-school social studies, I discovered how much I loved designing learning experiences—creating resources, breaking down complex ideas, and finding thoughtful, creative ways to support learners. What started in my own classroom grew into a deeper interest in instructional design and how intentional design can make learning more meaningful, accessible, and human-centered.

​

I recently graduated with a Master’s in Educational Technology & Instructional Design from Western Governors University, where I deepened my expertise in adult learning theory, e-learning development, and evidence-based design. Alongside my graduate work, I partner with Kansas State University on a grant-funded initiative supporting faculty as they integrate AI tools into their courses. In this role, I design e-learning experiences, instructional media, and practical guides that help educators build confidence using emerging technologies.​

​

Whether I’m building instructional media, designing e-learning modules, or supporting educators as they try something new, my goal is always the same: to create learning experiences that feel intuitive, engaging, and supportive. I’m guided by the belief that thoughtful design can reduce friction, build confidence, and make learning more accessible for everyone.
