Hi! Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Xaipete!
My name is Ana, and I am a curriculum designer and eLearning specialist. The pronouns I use are she/her/hers. I think of myself as a life-long learner. As an effective curriculum designer, I take every project seriously and pay attention to all the minor details. I love learning and with every new project, I like to dive into the content as if I were the student taking the course. I look for ways to improve the design for easier comprehensibility and to keep students continually engaged. A successful design should be ADA: all inclusive and appeal to learners from various backgrounds and age differences. Learning never gets old for me and I look forward to working with and breaking down complex concepts into simple and concise course design.

Writing is a hobby for me. If I learn something I want to share it. That is just who I am. Knowledge is the gift that keep on giving. My publications are available online with most major retail stores such as Barnes & Noble, Target, Amazon, and more. Amazon.com offers a print version of both books. Both books are written for low-income families. Anyone can benefit from this information, but it is tailored for families with limited income.
