Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working closely with Sangeetha over four months. At the time, Sangeetha was an instructional designer at Arizona State University and assisted me on a training project that was designed for success coaches to support Black-identified college students.
First, Sangeetha is an excellent collaborator. She consistently kept in touch with me about deadlines and actively sought to identify which aspects of the project we would be responsible for. She also goes above and beyond in fostering a genuine working relationship. There were countless times our work discussions would dive into our respective lives and overall personal well-being. Sangeetha was very communicative and flexible throughout our time working together. Sangeetha's knowledge of learning design is also impressive. She was well-versed in the best approaches to bringing the topics and concepts to life. While understanding how someone who creates the work can get close to the ideas, she did a phenomenal job of articulating why certain changes would need to be made. It was evident throughout this project that Sangeetha was determined to bring the best project forward for me as the consultant and for the audience at ASU. This resulted in great graphics and stories used to convey the stories told in this project.I highly recommend Sangeetha for your instructional designer needs. Sangeetha has outstanding vision and skills in the areas of collaboration, learning design, storyboarding. She will doe a tremendous job through her skills, passion, and dedication to the work!
Sangeetha is deeply passionate about designing inclusive learning experiences and fostering student success. Being new to ASU and working with another centralized unit, Sangeetha collaborated with our Engineering Learning Designers on the redesign of two large introductory engineering classes with the goal to improve student success and generate more inclusive environments. Due to her expertise in Learning Design, in particular practices related to inclusive teaching, she quickly established herself not just as an expert but also a genuine collaborator within the team and with the faculty. I credit Sangeetha’s dedication to build relationships that bridge organizational barriers with bringing new ideas and strategies to our Engineering Schools and to our embedded designers. Her lasting influence is having a broad impact!
I had the privilege of working closely with Sangeetha to create a series of DEIB-related materials for faculty at Arizona State University. Our collaboration spanned several months, during which time Sangeetha not only shared her experience with developing media resources for faculty and also shared her instructional design expertise. Throughout her time at ASU, I served as her mentor. Through our unique relationship, I have seen how Sangeetha addresses challenges creatively with hard work and intentional care for her relationship. What I particularly admire about Sangeetha is her human touch. She's not just about getting the job done; she's about getting it done in a way that uplifts everyone involved. Sangeetha has proven to be a valuable member of our team!
I worked with Sangeetha on the prototype of my e-learning programme and her expertise in instructional design shines throughout the entire process.
Not only was she able to tap into the theories behind what makes a good design in an e-learning programme, but she was able to apply her own skillset and experience in diversity and inclusion to ensure that different types of users are able to fully engage in the resource.
A dynamic collaborator, she is proactive in bringing forth ideas, questions and potential challenges in the project and importantly, listen and adapt to the rigour of the project.
Sangeetha's unique ability to develop and sustain cross-institutional relationships, drive initiatives forward through evidence-based instructional design practices, all while viewing through an equity and inclusion lens, is really remarkable. Her proactive approach to problem-solving and her knack for identifying opportunities for improvement were evident in her role. She actively sought innovative solutions, ensured the student was centered, and made sure that everyone had a voice in the conversation before moving forward. As a leader, Sangeetha excels in cultivating and developing trust, the currency of change, through how she engages with stakeholders and colleagues. Her exceptional communication skills, combined with her inclusive leadership style, foster a natural environment of collaboration and respect. Sangeetha consistently leads from a place of compassion where people who work with her feel seen, heard, respected, and celebrated.
