About Me

Hi! I’m Gia. And I’m an Instructional Designer.

Where I have been: I was born a world away but grew up in New York City. I studied English literature, Philosophy, writing, and learning theories as a student. I have been an educator and a paralegal. I have taught, mentored, and trained others for over a decade.

Where I am: I volunteer as an Instructional Designer for Dress for Success, Washington D.C. I am passionate about learning, diversity, and the world of Harry Potter. I can speak four languages, and read and write in three. I am really good at writing scenarios for eLearning.

Where I’m going: I am seeking a full-time position as an Instructional Designer/eLearning Developer. I look forward to designing solutions to performance problems and to helping others be better at what they do.

What We Can Do Together: I love data, results, and symmetry. If you or your organization is looking for visually striking, results-driven learning solutions, drop me a line to discuss how we can work together.

Now that you know a little about me, check out my work.
