OutsourCEU – NYC Building Code Places of Assembly 1 (sample)
Collaboration with Kaela Fanning (graphic design) under Outsource Consultants.
This sample is presented with permission from the copyright holder. As copywriter, I revised text and created new text for this required continuing education course for NYC architects on city building code laws, and worked with the graphic designer to choose corresponding images and place text. This module in particular focused on identifying Place of Assembly Occupancy Groups, Egress laws, and Certificate of Occupancy filing under the 2014 NYC Construction Codes. Slides chosen best display my ability to phrase and give instructions on the formatting of the material. (Please note: This is not the full course, and some information may be out-of-date as of November 7, 2022.)
Starry-Life Kit Mod 1 by Kate OrgeraStarry-Life Kit Mockup
This design project was created as the Integrative Project for the Masters in Instructional Technology & Media program at Columbia Teachers College. It proposes a video-based online positive psychology intervention (OPPI) mini-course aimed at emerging adults in first-year college and internship settings.
The asynchronous mini-course design, drawn from positive education research and multimedia learning theory, would cover six modules on Gratitude/Focus on the Good, Strengths, Meaning, Optimism, Reframing Negative Thoughts, and Hope. It is intended to be implemented through a college or workplace’s content management system. Effectiveness would be measured through follow-up surveys on mood and continued practice of PPIs post-course.
My process involved researching the problem, identifying areas of emerging adult problems where positive psychology could help, creating a storyboard, and developing a rudimentary curriculum and evaluation plan. Storyboard and mockup presentation created in Canva Pro.

Is this Culty? What to Know About Coercive Control (Dec 2023)
This educational mini-podcast episode expands on coercive control, a pattern of behaviors used by a perpetrator to frighten, threaten, oppress, and limit another to act against their best interests common in high control groups (i.e. cults) and abusive relationships. Audio edited in GarageBand, video edited in Canva.
Multilanguage Skills in Lateral Reading
Collaboration with Margaret Wen (May 2023).
This video project was meant to teach a digital literacy topic that interested us from the Technologies & Literacies curriculum. My partner and I chose media literacy as our topic and integrated this with an interest in multilingual learning, aimed at graduate students of Teachers College. We storyboarded and workshopped the video with the class before turning in the final product to make sure our idea was coming across clearly. Edited in iMovie and Adobe Premiere.
New York, New York – A Brief History of the Broadway Musical
Part of the MascLab Podcast‘s “Unique New York” mini series, this podcast aims to expand multimodal and digital scholarship for the Teachers College community and beyond. This episode aimed to create an audio-supported learning experience that explains the history of Broadway musical theater as it ties in to the history of New York City, as a way to spread knowledge to grad students who were recent transplants to New York and reflect on the relationship between location and media. Main audio edited in GarageBand.
How to Protect Your Period Data (March 2023)
Infographic created in Vectr after initial drafting in Canva as part of assignment on how to disseminate information in infographic format on a topic related to data, privacy, and bias that had been discussed in the curriculum. I chose health data privacy, specifically around feminine menstrual periods, as many females choose to track their cycles using smartphone apps that are not secure.
