About

Hi! I'm one of the lucky Instructional Technologist Designers at Oxnard College. I also serve as the Distance Education Coordinator and adjunct Communication Faculty at Moorpark College. People are my coffee, they give me energy, inspiration, and purpose.

My academic journey began right here in the district as a student at Moorpark College. While studying in the Radio Television Film program, I discovered my love for video editing and storytelling. I later transferred to San Diego State University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication. After a few years and some meaningful soul-searching, I completed my Master’s degree in Communication with an emphasis in Interactional Studies, where my passion for teaching truly took shape.

Today, I feel fortunate to have the best of both worlds, combining my love for teaching and empowering students and faculty with my enthusiasm for creating and editing videos for bite-sized, just-in-time learning experiences that support student success.

My current interests include exploring Digital Storytelling and gamification in education. I believe our stories are what connect us most deeply. Outside of work, I’m also training for my first triathlon, an adventure in perseverance and growth!
