About Me
Hello! I am Pooja Potdar, a lifelong learner passionate about creating engaging & accessible educational experiences. With a background in chemistry and a passion for EdTech, Since 2019, I’ve transitioned from YouTube content creator to Academic Content Writer, and now an Instructional Designer.​​​​
​
My Journey began in chemistry, earning a B.S. and M.S. in Organic Chemistry from Pune University, India. I then transitioned into eLearning and worked from simplifying complex topics for engineering and medical students to curating Alt-Text to enhance the content for visually impaired audiences. Alongside launching my YouTube channel, these experiences revealed the incredible potential of digital content, deepening my commitment to accessibility and fueling my passion for instructional design.
​
Currently, I work as a Graduate Assistant at UTampa Online, transforming traditional courses into interactive online experiences. In summer'24, I interned at Altair Engineering, developing self-paced engineering courses and contributing to their AI chatbot project. I’m now set to graduate with an M.S. in Instructional Design and Technology in December 2024.
​
Looking ahead, my diverse experiences keep me at the forefront of educational trends, and I’m eager to connect with others who share my focus on addressing learning needs. I live in Tampa, Florida.
Let’s enhance education, one creative idea at a time.
