Hello and welcome! 

I’m Colton, a dedicated and student-centered education professional living in Gulf Shores, AL. My passion lies in helping learners from all walks of life achieve their academic and career goals. I believe that learning should be accessible, engaging, and designed for real-world success, especially for busy, on-the-go professionals. 

With a Master's degree in Education Technology and over eight years of experience in academic support and mentorship, I specialize in creating effective educational pathways. I love untangling complex topics and redesigning them into clear, intuitive learning experiences using established models like ADDIE and SAM. Whether I'm working with Learning Management Systems like Canvas and Moodle or authoring tools like Articulate Storyline 360, my goal is always the same: to empower students and track their progress toward success. 

One of my favorite projects was my master's capstone, where I designed a "mobile-first eLearning module for food safety". The module demonstrated high usability and led to significant knowledge gains, with participants achieving average assessment scores of over 78%. For six years, I've also had the pleasure of being a freelance ServSafe Food Safety Manager Instructor and Proctor, mentoring hundreds of candidates for their national certification. 

Overall, I'm a lifelong learner who enjoys helping others reach their goals. 

Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about me. Please feel free to explore my work and connect!
