Heidi Church (she/her) brings a human-centered design lens to her role as the Instructional Design Lead on the L&S Sophomore Outreach and Engagement team. Equal parts College Adviser, Communications Strategist, and Learning Experience Designer, she’s building a more easeful and connected learning experience for students in the online Sophomore Rising Summer Program. She uses her creative superpowers to transform complex information into simple, concise language and produce online content that supports students in navigating their academic journey at Cal. As the Social Media Lead and a content designer for the L&S Advising Communications Team, Heidi has grown L&S Advising’s Instagram following to nearly 4K and helped launch a new L&S Advising website in 2020. A higher education futurist and avid advising technologist, she supports the office in adopting technology that expands our reach and capacity to provide developmental advising.
Heidi holds an Ed.M. in Technology, Innovation, and Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.S. in Recreation Administration from CSU, Chico. When she’s not scheming ways to radically transform higher education, she enjoys hiking in the Berkeley hills, traveling solo around the world, and watching trashy reality tv.
