Camie Wood (she/her/hers)
Hi! I'm Camie, an instructional designer with a passion for teaching and learning and I believe in the power of effective design and instruction to transform student learning. I have seen this transformation both in the classroom as a former teacher and as a researcher during my pursuit of a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, being outdoors, and reading. I love a good cup of tea, embroidery, and gardening.
