About Me
​
I am an experienced Instructional Designer, Learning Consultant, and Project Manager with over 18 years in the learning industry, committed to turning complex information into engaging, practical solutions for adult learners.
Strategic Design: I thrive in the process of analyzing learner needs and consulting with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to translate their knowledge into impactful, high-retention learning experiences.
Core Methodologies: My practice is anchored in Backward Design principles, focusing on clear learning objectives and results-driven outcomes. I use the ADDIE and SAM models as appropriate, and the Kirkpatrick for evaluating effectiveness. I have a deep commitment to accessibility and creating universally usable learning content.
Adaptability: I have mastered the art of connecting with diverse learners, streamlining learning processes for maximum impact, and rapidly adapting to new tools and fast-paced environments.
Beyond design, I bring a motivated, growth mindset and a focus on preemptive problem-solving to every project.
Resilient & Creative: I am a resilient and creative problem solver and a motivated self-starter who enjoys the challenge of solving puzzles, both in and outside of work.
Attention to Detail: I specialize in finding and filling gaps in learning content, often identifying and solving usability problems that others might not notice until after roll-out.
Quality Focus: I take great pride in my meticulous attention to detail and ensuring the usability of training guides, interactive learning experiences, and support materials.
