Instructional Design
The power and reach of Instructional Design
Instructional Systems Design (ISD) is both an art and a science. At its heart, it’s about creating learning experiences that actually work helping people understand new ideas, remember them, and confidently apply what they’ve learned.
ISD isn’t just about building courses; it’s about solving real-world challenges with learning solutions that make a difference. For example, it can help a company train employees on new software, design onboarding programs for remote teams, create English courses that boost workplace communication, develop safety training that reduces accidents, and structure professional development programs that accelerate careers.
In higher education, ISD helps design full programs, like a data science curriculum that guides students from beginner to advanced skills, integrates hands-on projects, and ensures they’re ready for real-world careers.
Simply put, ISD turns complex information into clear, meaningful learning experiences that create impact for individuals, teams, and organizations.
Education
AI Leadership
Stanford University
This program provided advanced, interdisciplinary training in AI-driven leadership, with a focus on how emerging technologies transform decision-making, organizational strategy, and learning systems. Through case-based analysis and applied frameworks, I developed expertise in evaluating generative AI tools, aligning technological innovation with institutional goals, and leading change responsibly in complex environments.
The experience strengthened my ability to translate AI capabilities into practical, human-centered solutions, integrating data analytics, ethical considerations, and strategic foresight. I refined skills in systems thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and evidence-based leadership, with an emphasis on clarity, impact, and long-term value creation.
In addition, I bring extensive professional experience across educational, technical, and consulting contexts, enabling me to apply AI-driven leadership principles effectively in real-world settings. This combination of academic rigor and professional practice allows me to design and lead initiatives that responsibly leverage AI to enhance learning, innovation, and organizational performance.
Master in Instructional Design
Loyola University Chicago
This program provided advanced training in curriculum development, learning experience design, and educational technology integration. I gained expertise in analyzing learner needs, designing instructional strategies, and developing multimedia-based learning solutions grounded in learning science and accessibility standards.
Northwestern University
This specialization deepened my expertise in instructional design, learning analytics, and digital education strategy. The program emphasized evidence-based learning design, usability, and technology integration to create impactful and inclusive learning experiences.
Key achievements include designing a complete eLearning prototype, applying Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, and conducting performance analysis to align learning outcomes with organizational goals. The coursework strengthened my ability to combine instructional theory, data-driven decision-making, and emerging technologies to design scalable, learner-centered training systems.
Data Science
Santiago Mariño Polytechnic University Institute
My Systems Engineering degree provided a strong foundation in systems analysis, information architecture, and process optimization, which now inform my approach to instructional design. Through coursework and practical projects, I developed expertise in problem-solving, logic modeling, database management, and software integration, along with an understanding of human–technology interaction.
This background enables me to design structured, data-driven, and learner-centered training systems that balance technical precision with accessibility and usability. Key accomplishments include designing workflow diagrams, optimizing learning management system (LMS) structures, and applying engineering methodologies to the development of instructional frameworks.
Systems Engineer
Academic English
London School of Commerce
This program provided advanced training in academic English communication, reading, and writing. I gained expertise in analyzing complex texts, composing structured essays, and applying advanced grammar and vocabulary skills. I developed critical reading strategies, academic writing proficiency, and effective research techniques, with a focus on clarity, coherence, and adherence to academic conventions. In addition, I bring over years of professional experience in diverse work environments, which has enhanced my ability to apply academic English effectively in professional, technical, and instructional contexts.
