Hi! I’m Marcela Garcia
A lifelong learner with a passion for digital education.
Digital Developer, Psychologist, Language Enthusiast
Skilled in both psychology and digital learning, I blend cognitive principles to design experiences that deeply connect with learners.
My journey to fluency in Spanish, English, German, and Italian instilled in me a profound appreciation for the learning process, and I have made it my mission to facilitate and support learning processes in others.
With over a decade of experience in adult education my career journey has been diverse, spanning roles from academic coordination to learning experience development and vocational training. This has built a solid background for my journey as a Digital Learning Developer.
My Approach
I develop impactful learning solutions by meticulously analysing the target audience and their objectives to design a comprehensive learning framework. This analysis is then translated into clear, concise, and engaging storyboards that act as a roadmap for the entire journey.
I leverage industry-leading tools like Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, PowerPoint, or browser-based platforms and blend captivating text and media, gamification, and storytelling elements to develop eLearning modules, learning nuggets, videos, etc.
The outcome: impactful and memorable learning experiences.
