Hi, I'm Ru.

I create engaging and meaningful learning experiences. Thanks for visiting my portfolio.

About Me

I had been an educator for ten years and teacher trainer for two before making the transition into instructional design. I have extensive experience in curriculum design and learning content development. 

Since deciding to make the transition, I have taken the initiative to develop more essential ID skills by completing the E-Learning Instructional Design Certificate Program with the University of Washington to learn various ID models and brush up on learning theories, which I have practiced throughout my teaching career. I have also learned authoring tools including Articulate 360 and Camtasia and refreshed on design softwares such as Adobe Creative Cloud that I first used in college for my visual design degree.

I am a self-starter, team player, and life-long learner. I'm now seeking a full-time instructional designer or e-learning developer position.
