"There are a couple of work-related accomplishments that I'm most proud of. The first one came up during my annual performance review, in which my superior told me that I'm the most innovative instructional designer the community college has ever had. That year, we made improvements on five curricula and developed three new ones. It was very challenging, but I soldiered through the four months of work.

The second accomplishment would be the collection of comments that I've gotten from students about the courses I've designed. They always leave notes on the evaluation at the end of the course, saying it's the most engaging learning content they've taken and how much they value what they've learned. The most memorable feedback I've received was from a student who ended up becoming an instructional herself. She sent me a message on LinkedIn letting me know that her aspirations stemmed from one of my designed programs. I feel so much joy from knowing that I make an impact on the learners."
