About Me:

Hello! I’m Emma Garcia, an aspiring instructional designer. I have a BA in Educational Studies (Instructional Design) from Arizona State University. I am working towards my Master’s in Educational Technology. I’ve always been curious, I loved going to school, trying new sports, learning instruments, and asking questions. I realized I had a passion for teaching when I started teaching swim lessons for adults and children as a teenager. Helping swimmers reach their goals was so rewarding, and it taught me that learning isn’t always quick and that a caring teacher can make all the difference. Studying instructional design and adult learning theories has only increased my admiration for the process of learning.

That mindset carries over into my personal life too. I love learning through my hobbies. I love making art, working out, playing the piano, and playing volleyball. All of these things have taken trial and error (and plenty of moments of frustration), but they’ve shown me how valuable the learning journey really is.

I would be an excellent addition to any team due to my eagerness to apply and expand my knowledge. Let’s work together!
