About

Dakota Tevis has a Masters in Instructional Design from Western Governors University, and a Bachelors in Music Education with a minor in Psychology from Bowling Green State University. She has an interest in workforce and adult education and is looking for a position where she can make impacts on the workforce - even one life changed for the better, practicing safer and happier work habits, is a worthy goal.

Dakota is currently a senior instructional designer with a global tech startup where she develops training on topics based on global privacy and ethics laws and regulations. She was previously a learning and development associate for a non-profit assisting with North American manufacturing operations and has worked in a wide variety of settings. She is comfortable in a corporate office engaging with stakeholders and is equally as comfortable on production floors getting dirty and into the specifics of every single job role.

Dakota teaches part time as a teaching associate at the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine where she gets to exercise her knowledge about adult learning and education and apply it to a field that is often overlooked - helping doctors best keep their patients informed and knowledgeable about their care starts during med school, but these skills will be carried throughout their lives as they become practicing clinicians.

Dakota and her husband, Brennen, live in Dayton, OH and are very active in their local community. Dakota volunteers for SICSA, an animal rescue organization, and has provided curriculum advice for their humane summer camps. Dakota and Brennen volunteer with the House of Bread, delivering food that would otherwise go to waste. They were recently certified as a therapeutic foster care home for human kids, and you would be hard pressed to visit them when they don’t have a foster pet! In her spare time, Dakota likes to play music and is a member of several community music organizations, she enjoys making art, and building out computers.
