Who Am I?
"Whangai ka tupu ka puawai"
-That which is nurtured, blossoms then grows
(Maori Whakatauki/Proverb)
My name is Maraea and I am a relative new comer to the field of instructional design. Born in Alaska and raised in New Zealand amongst my Maori relatives, I returned to the US in 2000 and earned my B.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from Brigham Young University-Hawaii. Over the past 15 years I have worked in the English as an International Language/English as a Second Language (EIL/ESL) sector teaching English to international university students in Hawaii. A couple of years ago I decided to diversify my skills and try something a little different, and so I enrolled in an Instructional Design and Technology Master's Program at American College of Education. I am now weeks away from completing my degree and am excited about exploring other opportunities within the ID field and to continue honing my skills and knowledge in this area. I find the creative problem-solving aspect of instructional design very appealing and am looking forward to the next part of my journey.
Hope to see you along the way!
“Ancora imparo”
