I’m an instructional designer and e-learning specialist.

My name is Alana Minor-Szajnert, pronounced “uh-lane-uh my-ner shy-nert”.

I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and I’ve traveled extensively throughout Europe. In another life, I must have been French because it’s my favorite place to be and I speak French fluently.

When I learn, I want to share my learning with others.

I’m Kentucky born (and breaded) and most recently from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am passionate about nurturing human growth in ability, skill sets, confidence, mindsets, and equity. I believe open hearts and open, informed minds can change our world.

I take great joy in helping others reach their goals.

Most importantly, I’m a mother. My daughter is two years old, and watching her develop has been the greatest learning experience of my life. Thinking about her future and the future of children everywhere is my impetus for doing what I can to ensure a healthy, humane, and habitable world.
