Tashena Malloy is an Instructional Designer for The Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities. She is currently working on the Money Follows the Person Capacity Building project. She designs and develops both synchronous and asynchronous learning modules for New Jersey’s Direct Support Professionals and Support Coordinators.

Prior to joining The Boggs Center, Ms. Malloy worked with the Give the Kids the World foundation to develop e-Learning trainings for the staff and volunteers that would interact with critically ill children and their families. Leveraging a background in psychology, she utilizes the adult learning theories to ensure that each training she develops covers the need for the knowledge and enhances the motivation to learn it. Malloy previously enjoyed a career in early childhood education before shifting her focus to adult learners. She also has a unique passion for disability awareness and advocacy, developed from her lived experience as both a person with a disability and a parent of two children with disabilities.

Tashena acquired her master’s degree in psychology from Kean University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bloomfield College. Additionally, she obtained her certification in Instructional Design from the Applied Instructional Design Academy (AIDA).
