Hello everyone! Well-I have finally made it! I earned my 2nd Masters, in Science in Instructional Design and Technology. It’s a field that is always evolving and growing, as new technology because more available to the teachers and instructors of tomorrow. So it has been a wild ride attempting to update my profile and portfolio while taking care of myself and my home life. But I am finally here.
Please reach out to me if you see something you like or have a teaching idea you would like helping creating. I am always here to help those learn in the easiest and most efficient ways possibly while still making it fun and exciting.

My name is Phoenix. I am an Anaheim, California native, now currently living in Rancho Cucamonga—home of wineries, sidebar jokes from old comedy skits and the occasional fun geeky activity. I’m married and have a new husky pup Koda, another resident of rainbow bridge named Scout, and my first rainbow bridge resident husky mix named April (passed over 2/5/2020). I also have one human autistic 4yo son. I always describe myself as a so-cal momma with a midwestern twist and an Alaskan heart with a love for my dogs, my family and my fun hobbies. I have family from allover the midwest and sometimes my roots show a little too much :)
School wise I currently have Bachelor of Arts in Theological Studies from the University of Evansville, which I obtained in 2005 and a Master of Arts in theological studies from Fuller Seminary in 2014. Currently I am starting a second Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology from Cal State Fullerton in August 2020. One day hope to complete a Ph.D. somewhere in something. I love to learn. I also have a certification in Dog Training from Animal Behavior College and continue to take Insurance classes at work to achieve an Associate in Claims. What can I say--if "professional student" was a career, I'd make a fortune. I love anything discussing people’s views on faith, living, language, reading, etc etc etc.
I am also autistic, have ADHD and have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (or PCOS.) I believe in neurodiverse mindset that there are different neurological differences in the world and that we need to learn to include all types in our understanding of learning and processing. I also admit that while struggling with these personal issues, I also acknowledge I have white privilege, I have money privilege (not much but more than most) and intelligence privilege. Systemic change starts with admitting where things have gone wrong and start to change them. Discussions permitted as much as possible but I am still learning, and my emotional struggles are from the minority so some things may take longer to process. But I am learning.
If you ever want to talk, chat, question, or just say something along the lines of "what's up?", please direct message me.
