Visual Representation
The Function of Color: Visualizing Functions
A comparative analysis of three standard function representations — machine diagram, map diagram, and composition notation — with revised diagrams that apply consistent color encoding and isolate each concept from visual noise.
- Each revised diagram strips the representation down to one idea and encodes domain and range with a consistent color system across all three examples.
- Diagrams produced from LaTeX source with a custom build pipeline exporting WebP, retina PNG, and SVG.
- Demonstrates editorial judgment about when a diagram is doing instructional work — and when it isn't.

Outcome-First
Math Foundations for Nursing: Textbook & Interactive Practice
The biggest barrier in dosage calculation instruction isn't comprehension. It is closing the gap between reading a worked example and writing something down to complete the calcution. This online
textbook is organized by question type and paired with an interactive dimensional
analysis tool built in Python.
- Textbook sequenced outcome-first — each module is organized around what students need to do, not just what they need to know.
- Interactive practice tool built from scratch in Python and deployed to the browser via WebAssembly — drag-and-drop factor chains with live unit cancellation feedback.
- Designed to support a live virtual workshop delivery model for workforce development cohorts.

Intro to Data: Shared Vocabulary Lesson
A lesson for adult career-changers entering a data science program, designed to establish shared vocabulary before any tool or technique is introduced.
- Anchored to a single core idea and sequenced supporting concepts around it.
- Checks for understanding that distinguish vocabulary recall from conceptual interpretation.
- Designed to reduce downstream confusion in later tooling-focused modules.

How and When to Use Desmos on the SAT
A student-facing reference guide that teaches when the graphing calculator is the right tool.
- Side-by-side algebraic vs. calculator paths for five common question types.
- Frames the tool as a decision based on each student's own algebra proficiency.
- Designed for tutoring students preparing for the Digital SAT.

How I design
Start with the learner's next reliable move. In technical subjects, early momentum matters.
Sequence for understanding. I prioritize dependencies and misconceptions so practice builds fluency instead of reinforcing gaps.
Assess to create feedback, not just scores. Checks for understanding are designed to reveal what to do next, both for the learner and the instructor.

Outcome Driven
Math Foundations for Nursing: Textbook & Interactive Practice
The biggest barrier in dosage calculation instruction isn't comprehension, it's
closing the gap between reading a worked example and writing anything down. This resource
addresses that directly: an online textbook organized by question type paired with
an interactive dimensional analysis tool where students build conversion chains
by dragging and dropping number and unit cards before committing to paper and pencil.
This online textbook reflects an outcome-first approach where each module is sequenced around
what students need to be able to do, not just what they need to know. The
interactive tool lowers the stakes for a first attempt and makes the structure of
dimensional analysis visible before it becomes procedural. It has been an effective live demonstration tool in math workshops.

About
I'm a math-focused instructional designer and curriculum developer, who specializes in the subjects where clear sequencing and precise representation matter most: mathematics, quantitative reasoning, and technical content.
I've designed and delivered instruction across K–12 math, undergraduate mathematics,
test preparation, and adult upskilling. Time in industry as a decision science analyst
sharpened my ability to translate quantitative work for non-technical audiences —
a standard I bring to everything I design. Notation should be unambiguous,
representations should earn their place, and every design decision should reduce
load on the reader. When a static diagram isn't enough, I build interactive tools
from scratch.
I serve on the board of a Latina-focused digital tech literacy nonprofit as a bilingual
tech advisor. This community work connects directly to my interest in making technical
content accessible to learners who have historically been underserved by it. Outside of work, I am a dedicated guitarist who primarily performs fingerstyle and classical repertoire.
