Hey, I’m Val.

I help large technical companies streamline their educational solutions through Instructional Design.

My Approach

Collaborative

Collaboration is a cornerstone of my approach to instructional design, as I believe the most effective learning experiences are created through shared expertise and diverse perspectives. I actively engage with subject matter experts, educators, learners, and other stakeholders throughout the design process to ensure that content is accurate, engaging, and aligned with learning objectives. By fostering open communication and feedback loops, I’m able to adapt and refine materials to meet the evolving needs of both instructors and learners. I value collaboration not only as a means to improve instructional quality but also as a way to build trust, encourage innovation, and create inclusive learning environments that reflect a broad range of voices and experiences.

Audio/Visual Expertise

With over a decade of experience in audio and video, I earned authorization from Digital Media to conduct reviews not only from an Instructional Design perspective but also on behalf of DMT, streamlining the process and saving valuable time for my teams.
