Hi, I'm Lani!
๐ก As an ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ at Stanford University School of Medicine, I create engaging learning experiences for Stanford University faculty/staff and clinicians and healthcare teams around the world. I design and develop eLearning modules, educational animations, explainer videos, and other learning materials. I produce webinars and consult with faculty to develop resources, seminars, courses, workshops, and eLearning programs, creating unique and impactful learning experiences. I also provide guidance to faculty and staff on learner engagement strategies to improve program learning outcomes.
๐ As a first generation college student, I earned my B.A. in Education Sciences from UC Irvine, where I became a published researcher in the Digital Learning Lab. I then earned my M.A. in Education from Stanford University, and a few years later, my M.Ed. in Instructional Design from Western Governors University while working. Throughout the past few years, in addition to my full-time work in higher education, I've mentored transitioning and early career IDs, and presented at various conferences, including Learning 2023 and Stanford GSE's Alumni Conference, for which I've also served on the planning committee the past two years, working on organizing, social media marketing, and photography/videography. I also serve on the EDUCAUSE Review Advisory Committee, advising the publication's editorial staff on the strategic direction of the EDUCAUSE Review magazine.ย
