About Samantha Martinez

I am a graduate learner in Learning Design and Technology with experience in instructional design, virtual learning, and community-based leadership. I specialize in designing learner-centered, values-driven learning experiences that support both individual development and organizational goals. In my instructional design work, I have developed interactive eLearning modules using Articulate Storyline and Rise 360, applying the ADDIE model to align learning objectives with organizational needs. I have collaborated with SMEs and cross-functional teams to develop and refine training content, supported instructor-led training through observation and alignment, and worked within Cornerstone LMS to manage content and evaluate learning effectiveness. I also bring experience creating multimedia learning assets using Adobe Creative Cloud and Murf AI, with a focus on accessibility and engagement. Alongside my L&D experience, I serve as a Community Relations Advisor for Pi Beta Phi, where I lead large-scale event planning, manage stakeholder relationships across university and city partners, and oversee digital communications including Instagram and TikTok strategy. I have helped support events with over attendees and contributed to philanthropic fundraising efforts exceeding Across both spaces, I am especially drawn to roles that combine learning design, strategic communication, and mission-driven impact. I am seeking opportunities to continue growing as an instructional designer and contribute to meaningful learning experiences.
