Sarah Mertz, M.Ed.

Welcome!

I am a learning design expert who uses instructional strategies and data for performance improvement and behavior change.

PROFESSIONAL:

I find people – how they think and how they learn – fascinating. This is evident by my BS in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN and my MEd in Adult Learning and Training and Development with a Specialty in Instructional Design from NC State University.
My career has followed a learning and development path through four different industries: HVAC systems, executive coaching, education/publishing and healthcare/community health. My favorite roles have been the “smart” ones, or the roles that made me think each day.
Using technology in education is surprisingly fun!
Though it may sound cliché, I am a dedicated and hard-working learning and development professional who creates quality and engaging learning.

PERSONAL:

I love desserts but also love to run. My favorite is to run in the woods. If there are desserts to enjoy after the trail run, even better.
I have lived in 4 different cities. Only one of these cities is NOT a state capital: Louisville, KY.
We laugh a lot in our house. Puns especially make us giggle and roll our eyes.
My travel goal is to see all 50 states by the time I am 50. I have 15 states left to see!
