As an educator, I excelled at creating objectives that met the needs of my learners and spent nearly a decade creating and conducting instructor-led trainings (ILT). During the pandemic, I had to convert my ILT’s to virtual instructor-led trainings (VILT’s) and found that I enjoyed creating e-learning solutions immensely. These qualities, plus my desire to work in a corporate setting, led me to Jill Davidian’s Applied Instructional Design Academy (AIDA), where I fell in love with the process of designing and developing learning solutions.

The Applied Instructional Design Academy helped me develop skills in Articulate Rise, Articulate Storyline, Vyond, Camtasia, Synthesia, and more. I learned how much my experience as a college professor, tutor, and writer prepared me to design trainings for adult learners. While working in higher education, I enjoyed imparting knowledge to students, but working with adult learners allows me to see behaviors and actions change in real time because of my training.

On a team, I draw from my various interpersonal skills and experiences with diverse personalities, to ensure that team members are communicating effectively and moving toward business goals. 

My ability to gather data and analyze the needs and knowledge gaps of learners makes me a great asset to any learning project. My positivity, excitement, and can-do attitude means that I am always dedicated to achieving the best outcome in any situation. Developing engaging e-learning solutions is one of my favorite ways to showcase my creativity and innovation. 

With me on your team, stakeholder goals will be achieved on time and effectively.

My learning solutions are always organized based on instructional design models such as ADDIE, SAM, or Agile. My approach is founded on adult learning theories like Bloom's Taxonomy and Gagne's Nine Events. Prioritizing these methods results in trainings that are engaging, relevant, and memorable for adult learners. My ability to communicate effectively with SME's, perform needs analysis of learners, and ensure that stakeholder goals are met makes my work thorough and effective. 

When I'm not focused on e-learning development and instructional design you can find me:

• Writing

• Reading

• Baking

• Traveling

I love trying new things and meeting new people.  Reach out so we can design together!
