“Ada Martin is a seasoned instructional designer and higher education professional. She is a positive individual who can lead or serve as a team member, focusing on the outcome and long-term vision of projects. Her interest in continuous knowledge of her chosen field and expansion of her skills provide a talented designer and valued contributor to any organization. Ada possesses the three skills all senior-level instructional designers should have - credentialed online training, experience in an assortment of projects, and the ability to work with various SMEs (subject matter experts). Ada's ability to create new or improve existing online projects showcases her advanced-level knowledge and leadership experience. This expertise is instrumental to impacting projects and long-term goal setting in department and division planning. It also offers higher education students exposure to engaged learning and faculty with creative vision and academic support.”

“I highly recommend Ada. She was my right hand as I struggled with online teaching. She is simply a wonderful person and will make a great addition to any design team. She is clearly "tech-savvy" but is also patient and courteous. What a wonderful combination!”

“In professional life, one of the most impactful experiences is to connect with someone whose knowledge and commitment inspire you toward further action. Working with Ada has been one of those cases. I was lucky to serve with Ada on a diversity, equity, and inclusion committee, and a sub-committee she led. Ada not only shared her expertise but influenced the group through her commitment to values-driven decisions and policies. She led with facts and data while also creating space for individual experiences, allowing group members to feel heard and valued without losing sight of the big picture goals. I wholly recommend Ada as a colleague and leader; I feel lucky to work with her.”

“I worked with Ada over the past summer on a Social Justice Committee. Ada was a great leader that facilitated open and honest conversation, creating a safe space for everyone's voice to be heard. It is clear that Ada is very passionate and dedicated to her colleagues as well as the causes she believes in. No matter the situation, Ada always led with grace and power. Any organization would benefit from her leadership, intellect, and empathy.”

One area I truly enjoyed about the presentation was…

“The conversation piece, the personal experience, and examples Ada shared with the class. I appreciated the in-depth explanation and clarifications.”

“I loved the videos that were shared. I loved the open discussion.“

“I enjoyed that it was immersive and dynamic.”

“The thought provocation it evoked.”

One possible area of improvement to consider is…

“Full workshop, an even more in-depth training.”

“It was perfect.”
