Hi, I’m Laken, a K–8 special education teacher turned instructional technology coach, now charting my path into instructional design. Over the past several years, I’ve helped educators integrate technology in meaningful ways, designed professional learning experiences, and supported inclusive teaching practices across grade levels.

Now, I’m building on that foundation to design learning experiences that are engaging, accessible, and grounded in evidence-based strategies. Whether it’s through e-learning modules, scenario-based activities, or job aids, I enjoy finding creative ways to support how people learn and grow, wherever they are.

I don’t have one fixed destination in mind, but I’m excited about the journey and all the opportunities instructional design has to offer.
