I conducted a learning-focused audit of the Saluda Historic Depot Museum using Embodied Cognition Theory. I created a rubric to measure how multisensory stimuli impacted visitor engagement.

I collaborated on a Figma prototype for a web-based platform designed for onboarding new employees. I applied educational learning theories to the user flow to maximize knowledge retention and led user testing sessions.

I collaborated with a team to perform a market analysis for VOW, an organization dedicated to providing black families with tools to advocate for culturally affirming learning environments.

I audited the CBIB database to align middle school ELA texts with new readability and word-count standards. I evaluated passages for grammar, copyright status, and grade-level appropriateness, while removing cultural and socioeconomic biases to ensure testing equity. Based on my findings, I made final determinations to retain, revise, or reject each text.
