Maria Marquis

Hi I'm Maria! I am a theatre and voiceover actor, instructional designer, and presentation skills coach. Before building a career as an instructional designer and facilitator, I trained to be an actor. Both the arts and education allow me to pursue her goal to foster intercommunication, mutual understanding, and respect by telling people’s stories; letting them be recognized, heard, understood, and appreciated. My passion is creating inclusive, fun, and impactful learning experiences. As an instructor and designer, my focus is on empowerment, based on the belief that people of all skill levels can find success – no matter what their role or level of tech-savvy might be. After serving as an in-house instructional designer and facilitator for multiple companies, she built her own consulting practice to build powerful learning experiences for organizations and empower people to build their presentation and facilitation skills.
