Lead Magnet
This is a sample of a lead magnet for a home improvement company branching into the solar industry. I also ran and managed the company's social media ads using this and similar documents: increasing website traffic, strong leads, and their bottom line. The sample was created using Canva.
​
Curriculum & Instruction
Here are a few samples of curriculum and instructional materials I have created for college board and honors courses, such as AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, Honors Physics.
​
​
Presentations
Here are a few samples from presentations I have created and presented over the course of my career.
​
​
​
Proposals & Grants
Here are two proposal writing samples.
Sample 1 is of a research proposal for a PhD program using various quantitative and qualitative methods (Root-Cause Analysis, Ishikawa Analysis). The problem of practice covered student engagement, achievement, and motivation in secondary stem-related classes.
​
Sample 2 is the aims page of an awarded NIH research grant.
