AMBER SLADEK
Hello and welcome!
Learning should be fun, engaging, and inclusive. As an educator and instructional designer, I thrive on converting complex information into interactive and approachable learning experiences that both close the knowledge gap and produce growth and results.
Over the past 14 years, I have designed and facilitated instructor-led and virtual instructor-led curriculum to diverse groups of learners in the corporate, nonprofit, and K-12 sectors in my roles as a corporate administrative assistant, secondary English and ESL educator, and volunteer working both domestically and internationally with at-risk youth.
Developing educational resources, gamification, graphic design, and training others are some of my work-related passions. I am a life-long learner; always seeking new ways I can grow both personally and professionally.
I would love to collaborate with you!
