Erika McLaughlin
When I was seven I got my first book on the brain, Neuroscience for Beginners, and have been fascinated with the mind since. I studied the design and technology of learning at The University of Southern California where I served as the outreach officer for The Lambda Delta Tau (LDT) Society and established a global mentorship program for my peers.
Currently, I am designing technical training at a Fortune 500 Company. I am a supporter of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and always design with the learner's individual attributes in mind.
