Episode description
Tristia Hennessey is an award-winning eLearning developer from the Pacific Northwest and has a passion for immersive learning, VR, and AR. And interestingly enough, that love for immersive learning stems from her love of travel; she studied abroad for a number of years and learned first hand the power of immersion as a learning experience.
So check out Tristia's journey: she went from being an admin assistant at an insurance company to finding instructional design, then taking all of her previous experience and creating a career that finds her winning awards for her designs, and now, building and hosting a community called XR in LXD.
It's always amazing to hear how Instructional Designers have evolved themselves into careers they enjoy, and Tristia's story is a great example of that.
