Biography
Haley Kerkhoff began in the field of instructional design in 2013, first as a student editor during graduate school and then as an instructional designer starting in 2014. Since that time, she has assisted UW-Madison instructors in a variety of disciplines—primarily music, social work, and nutritional sciences—with design, development, and technical training for their undergraduate and graduate-level online and blended courses. Following an undergraduate career focused on 20th century American history and political science, she continued her studies in the history of higher education, which culminated in her thesis on the first GI Bill and its implementation at UW-Madison. Haley has been fortunate to sustain her passion surrounding the promise of public higher education through her work as an instructional designer in CTLM. She strives to provide the highest quality and most accessible online educational experiences to students. Outside of work, Haley’s hobbies include rec kickball, reading historical fiction, volunteering with the Junior League, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
