"I had the privilege of working alongside Courtney for eight years, and during that time, she consistently impressed me with her innovation and dedication to students. Originally a Family and Consumer Science teacher specializing in foods, she successfully wrote a grant that allowed her to completely upgrade and rebuild her kitchen equipment—dramatically improving the learning environment for her students.

Her engaging, hands-on lessons quickly grew student enrollment, reflecting her ability to make learning meaningful and exciting. Long before instructional design became a buzzword, Courtney was integrating it naturally—building interactive PowerPoint lessons that kept students involved. I especially remember her course on knife skills, complete with demonstrations and interactive elements that mirrored today’s e-learning best practices.

She is a forward-thinking educator who combines creativity, technical skill, and passion to improve learning outcomes. Any team would be fortunate to work with her."

"I’ve had the honor of working with Courtney for the past three years at Purdue University, and she continually sets the standard for what it means to be an exceptional instructional designer. She brings a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to instructional design, ensuring every course supports meaningful learning and real-world application.

Courtney excels at translating complex information into clear, engaging learning experiences. She partners seamlessly with SMEs, applies sound learning design principles, and balances the big picture with the details that make courses both accurate and effective. Her work drives measurable results, including smoother course rollouts, stronger learner engagement, and more efficient development processes.

Courtney’s skill, commitment to excellence, and team-oriented approach make her an indispensable colleague and a true asset to any learning initiative. She contributes thoughtful ideas, encourages open dialogue, and brings a positive, professional energy that makes collaboration both productive and enjoyable."
