About

Professional summary

I am an instructional designer with more than 10 years of experience creating learning solutions that change behavior, close performance gaps, and produce measurable outcomes. I work across healthcare, government, and higher education environments.

I translate complex, high-stakes content into clear and engaging eLearning, instructor-led, virtual, blended, and performance-support experiences. My work has supported more than 1,000 learners, including clinical professionals, military personnel, federal employees, students, and staff.

I use full-cycle instructional design methods including ADDIE, SAM, Critical Events, and competency-based models. I conduct needs analyses, define learning objectives, collaborate with subject-matter experts, and evaluate effectiveness through Kirkpatrick-based measurement and continuous improvement.

I am experienced in LMS administration, course deployment, learner tracking, quality assurance, accessibility review, and documentation development. I create process maps, SOPs, templates, storyboards, multimedia assets, and course playbooks that improve consistency across development teams.

I leverage AI-enabled tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT to accelerate content development and improve learning quality. I am committed to creating accessible, usable learning experiences aligned with ADA, Section 508, and WCAG requirements.
