Hi, I’m Yvonne!
I am an educator, UDL-focused course designer, mentor, and creative maker. I am dedicated to helping others find practical, thoughtful solutions in the classroom, through design, and in everyday learning.
I am currently pursuing an Education Specialist degree in Instructional Technology and am committed to lifelong learning. I hold two master's degrees, in Secondary Education and Human Resource Development. My flexible and positive mindset fosters growth-oriented relationships with collaborators. As a professional mentor to educators and administrators, I have remained dedicated to learning and development for over 20 years. In my current role as an Instructor, I lead live sessions and design, develop, and implement asynchronous courses and microlearning. Outside of work, I enjoy walking while listening to personal finance podcasts, sharing recipes, and writing about affordable whole-food cooking on my website. As a yoga practitioner, I create workplace mindfulness and yoga sequences available on my YouTube channel and continue to expand my knowledge of personal finance.
I am passionate about teaching food and nutrition, personal finance, and yoga and mindfulness, and I bring practical skills and a warm, approachable style to my work. As a certified yoga instructor and former homeschool parent, I am dedicated to helping others achieve balance and connection in their lives. I value the experiences of cooking and baking with my children and sharing the benefits of whole foods. I also design and publish books to support personal growth, meeting individuals where they are and encouraging their next steps. These resources are available on Amazon.
“Not all who wander are lost” - j.r.r. tolkien
I like this quote because I’m curious, like change and movement, and encourage others to explore their own wonderings and wanderings. When I’m not working on a project using Backwards Design or something else nifty, you will find me hiking, cycling, practicing yoga, or cooking up my next adventure.
