This is the portfolio I created from my courses at Marymount University. All items in this portfolio show my personal competence with leadership and innovation in organizations. Throughout my Education Doctorate degree program, I engaged in rigorous coursework and practical experiences that equipped me with advanced knowledge and skills in educational leadership, strategic planning, and innovative practices. My studies emphasized evidence-based decision-making, effective communication, and transformative leadership strategies. The projects and assignments included in this portfolio demonstrate my ability to analyze complex problems, develop creative solutions, and lead initiatives that drive positive change in educational settings.
The UCLAxOnline initiative is a large-scale effort to enhance the quality, accessibility, and consistency of UCLA Extension’s online certificate programs, aligning them with national standards. Through cross-departmental collaboration, the project updated 86 courses across 18 certificate programs, supported 80+ instructors, and achieved a 97% average course quality score. As a senior instructional designer, I contributed to developing scalable templates, media assets, and data-informed workflows that improved learner engagement and streamlined course development. This work established a sustainable model for future online program growth while reinforcing UCLA Extension’s commitment to high-quality, inclusive digital learning.
As the project lead and initiator, I established this Community of Practice (CoP) at Santa Monica College to empower faculty with the knowledge, tools, and collaborative environment needed to integrate generative AI into multimedia-based course content. Through a hands-on, interdisciplinary approach, faculty will gain confidence in ethical and inclusive AI use to improve student engagement. The urgency lies in the rapidly growing presence of AI in education and the current gap in pedagogical fluency among faculty regarding these technologies. Students increasingly expect dynamic, digitally enhanced learning environments, and faculty must evolve accordingly. Key outcomes include the creation of multimedia learning objects using AI tools, the development of a shared resource hub, and strengthened faculty collaboration across disciplines.
As one of four founding team members of UCLA Global Online, I played a key role in shaping the university’s first centralized platform for delivering high-quality online learning to national and international audiences. I co-developed the Learn, Practice, Network framework—a pedagogical model that blends engaging digital content with live interaction and collaborative learning to create immersive, story-driven experiences. In leading instructional design, multimedia production and content strategy for pilot courses, I built scalable development processes, created curriculum frameworks, templates for faculty and staff and produced multimedia learning assets that uphold UCLA’s academic excellence. This initiative marked a major step in extending the university’s global impact while centering the learner experience.
As the project lead, I oversaw the collaborative development of a new instructor resources and remote hiring website for UCLA Extension, aimed at improving the onboarding experience for all online, hybrid, and on-ground faculty. The project required cross-departmental coordination between the Instructional Design and Learning Support (IDLS) team, the Dean's Office, and the Human Resources (HR) team, with a focus on streamlining workflows, enhancing usability, and improving the communication of key information to stakeholders. Key responsibilities included content strategy, user experience design, procurement of visual assets, and recommendations for process improvements, website structure, and technology.
I developed a comprehensive series of training videos to support faculty members at higher education institutions in enhancing their teaching practices and effectively utilizing institutional tools. Several of these videos were created with the assistance of Generative AI technologies, including CapCut for advanced video editing, ChatGPT for drafting clear and engaging instructional scripts, Sora for generating high-quality visual elements, and ElevenLabs for producing natural-sounding voiceovers. These AI-enhanced videos were designed to deliver content in an accessible, engaging, and time-efficient manner for busy faculty members. In addition to the AI-supported materials, I produced detailed screencasting tutorials that provide step-by-step guidance on creating a course syllabus within their Canvas course shell, utilizing a third-party syllabus management tool integrated with the learning management system. This combination of AI-driven content creation and practical screencast demonstrations ensures that faculty receive both conceptual understanding and hands-on technical instruction tailored to their needs.
As a part of the 2024 Cohort, I completed the program by attending monthly online presentations and discussions led by California Higher Education leaders, which focused on the challenges, successes, skills, and issues faced by today’s ed-tech leaders. These presentations took place from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. second Friday of each month through the year. I completed monthly reflections and concluded the program with a video based final project centered around leadership presentation reflections in higher education utilizing the power of Generative AI in video production.
This is the portfolio I created from my courses at California State University, Dominguez Hills. All items in this portfolio show my personal competence with technology in higher education, as specifically detailed in the Technology Facilitation Standards of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Through my Master of Arts degree program, I gained expertise in integrating technology to enhance teaching and learning, designing effective digital learning environments, and implementing innovative instructional strategies. The projects and assignments in this portfolio illustrate my proficiency in utilizing educational technologies to support student engagement, improve instructional practices, and foster a collaborative learning culture. Each piece reflects my commitment to staying current with emerging technologies and my ability to apply them effectively in higher education settings.
