Magali Franco

I’m an educator, facilitator, and instructional designer with a background in K–12 and corporate learning. With 16 years of experience and a Master’s in Instructional Design and Technology, I create clear, engaging, and learner‑centered training that helps people build confidence and perform with purpose

My work brings together the best of both worlds—the heart of an educator, the presence of a facilitator, and the strategy of an instructional designer. This portfolio showcases the projects that reflect that blend: thoughtful analysis, purposeful design, and a commitment to personalized, human‑centered learning.
