The First Year(s) of Grief

An interactive learning experience designed to help adults understand grief, reflect on loss, and identify healthy sources of support. I developed the module with input from a subject-matter expert and applied multimedia learning, cognitive-load, and learner-centered design principles to approach a sensitive topic with care.

The Landscape of Grief

The Landscape of Grief is a reflective mapping activity that helps people chart how grief changes over time. Learners record difficult periods, moments of relief, significant events, and sources of support across a visual landscape. The activity acknowledges that grief rarely follows a straight or predictable path.

I first developed the experience as part of the Transcending Loss workbook, but it can also function as a stand-alone reflection tool. Animated elements and interactive prompts guide users through the activity without prescribing what grief should look like or how quickly someone should recover.

Gilead: Digital Writing Support Platform

A proposed digital writing-support platform that guides students through assignment analysis, source evaluation, note-taking, claim development, drafting, and reflection. It also gives instructors evidence of how a document developed, so they can focus on learning and authorship rather than AI-detection scores.

Rethinking Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle

A visual reinterpretation of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle. I examined how its four stages (concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation) play out in real learning, and redrew the model to reflect how learners actually move between them.

Digital Citizenship Infographic

Created for MEDUC 611: Equity, Access, and Citizenship. The infographic recommends ways to take digital breaks that support mental health and reduce the stress caused by excessive technology use.

HBI Auto BDC Training and Assessment Plan

A consulting project for an active training need at HBI Auto. Working with the BDC manager as client and SME, I conducted a needs assessment, presented two research-supported recommendations, and helped develop the assessment materials and implementation plan.

Student Worker Hub

A Microsoft 365 hub that gives student workers a clear shift workflow: start work, find tasks, complete daily checklists, access training, log completed work, and understand expectations without constant reminders. The live site is private to MSMU, so this demo shows its layout and components.

Interactive Student Employment Checklists

With no existing MSMU guide for hiring student workers, I figured out the process myself and documented it. This fillable packet covers hiring, HR clearance and orientation, first-week training, work expectations, faculty and adjunct hire support, and offboarding, so the next person in my role has a place to start.

BDC Leadership Portfolio

A professional portfolio, résumé, and LinkedIn presence I planned and built for an automotive Business Development Center leader. I wrote the outline and storyboard, drafted the web copy, and built a short, proof-based site that leads with measurable results.

PDF Splitter Tool

A tool that separates large student evaluation files into individual course evaluation PDFs. I built it to reduce manual file handling in my Administrative Assistant II role and distribute faculty evaluations more efficiently.

Accessible Phi Alpha Theta Induction Program

A before-and-after accessibility redesign of a university honor society induction program. I revised the typography, heading structure, reading order, and page organization to create a digital version that works better for screen-reader users and attendees with visual or cognitive access needs.

Faculty Candidate Visit Packet

An itinerary packet for candidates in the History Department’s 2026 faculty search. It walks each visitor through arrival, parking, directions, and the day’s schedule so they can focus on their interviews and teaching demonstration. I removed the cover page to protect the candidate’s privacy.

Fall 2026 Course Offerings

A course offerings handout for Political Science and International Studies that applies MSMU’s brand standards. It organizes the semester’s courses in a clear, accessible format to support advising and registration.

Communications Department Brochure

Written and designed for MSMU advising week and campus events. The brochure explains the value of the communications major: the skills students build, the work they can pursue, and how the program connects to their goals.
