About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Nashrah, an instructional designer and educator with 7+ years of teaching experience across K-12 and higher education settings.

I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Educational Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship at UNC Chapel Hill, where I focus on designing impactful learning experiences at the intersection of education, healthcare, and emerging technologies.

My background spans classroom teaching, curriculum development, and digital learning design. I bring a learner-centered approach to every project — whether that's building immersive VR experiences, designing e-learning modules in Articulate Storyline, or mapping stakeholder ecosystems to address real-world challenges like anti-bullying in schools.

VR Learning Project

Immersive Learning Through VR (Virtual Reality)

Interactive Learning | VR Experience

I created a Virtual Reality (VR) environment using a software called FrameVR that hosted a town center that delivers an English Language learning experience for children ages 3-6 who come from a non-native English speaking family. The objective was to create a learning course that is gamified and makes use of best practice frameworks to effectively teach english-language learners how to adopt english words and phrases commonly used in a familiar setting. Increase learning experience by 40%.

This is a short, scenario-based microlearning course built in Articulate Rise 360 to help first-time corporate employees understand everyday workplace expectations. The course focuses on practical skills that are often not formally taught, including: • Interpreting dress codes and workplace norms • Writing clear, action-oriented emails using the pyramid structure • Understanding and using common corporate jargon • Communicating professionally and respecting colleagues’ time.

Social Studies Lesson Plan Evaluation

Social Studies Lesson Plan Evaluation Scorecard

Online Scoring System

An AI-assisted Social Studies evaluation scorecard created with support from Claude to help educators assess student understanding more precisely and consistently. The scorecard was refined through two rounds of qualitative & quantitative user testing with Social Studies teachers and teachers from other subject areas, and their feedback directly informed the final design. The result is a more structured, transparent, and practical tool for evaluating learning and improving instruction.

Internship project

FPG Internship: From Research to Prototype

AI for STEM Early-Childhood Educators

At the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG), I supported the development of STEMIEBOT, an AI-based chatbot designed to strengthen access to early childhood STEM resources. My work included researching AI platforms, creating outreach materials for stakeholder engagement, drafting early childhood STEM prompts, preparing focus group interview materials, and contributing to the design and development of the prototype. This experience helped me grow in educational technology, user-centered design, research-informed development, and collaborative project work.
