I am an instructional designer, curriculum architect, and founder of InstructorKnapp, with more than 15 years of experience developing courses, programs, and learning systems across California’s public education landscape. With a Master of Science in Instructional Science and Technology, I specialize in translating complex subject-matter expertise into clear, engaging learning experiences that support student success.
My work includes the design of online courses, hybrid programs, and digital learning environments across STEM, humanities, and professional disciplines. I have extensive experience partnering with faculty, subject-matter experts, and academic teams to structure curriculum, align learning objectives and assessments, and create learning experiences that promote engagement, inquiry, and applied skill development.
My background includes course and program design within large public university systems, including the University of California and California State University. In collaboration with research faculty and academic departments, I have developed hundreds of courses and learning resources serving thousands of students across online, hybrid, and classroom environments.
Through InstructorKnapp, I provide consulting in instructional design, course development, curriculum architecture, and learning experience design. My projects often involve coordinating multiple stakeholders, shaping complex educational initiatives, and turning research-based expertise into practical, learner-centered instruction.
In addition to consulting, I have developed original educational tools and instructional systems. These include HeartData™, a STEM-aligned learning program that helps students explore stress physiology through structured observation and data analysis, and Rewire, a biofeedback-supported learning system designed to help learners observe physiological signals associated with stress and regulation.
I partner with educators, institutions, and organizations to design courses, curriculum, and learning systems that transform expertise into meaningful educational experiences.
