My dedication to crafting meaningful learning experiences has always been at the forefront of my career. Currently, I leverage my expertise in adult learning theory and my proficiency with Articulate Storyline 360 and Articulate Rise 360 to design and maintain a wide range of eLearning courses. I oversee various projects throughout the instructional design process, collaborating closely with subject matter experts and stakeholders across the organization. I specialize in leading virtual instructor-led training sessions aimed at equipping new staff with essential operational skills, such as opening new accounts and handling various lending functions. Based on thorough analysis of learner feedback, I advocated for a comprehensive restructuring of these courses to better meet learning objectives and enhance new staff preparedness. My ultimate goal is always to provide learners with top-quality educational experiences, regardless of the delivery format.
Before transitioning into instructional design, I enjoyed an eleven-year career in education. The last six years of this period were dedicated to staff professional development and instructional coaching, focused on data-driven decision-making. This shift invigorated my career, allowing me to concentrate on adult education, a core passion in my professional life. My experience in staff professional development instilled in me a profound appreciation for the value of high-quality adult learning experiences, propelling me towards a career in instructional design.
I excel in working collaboratively with subject matter experts, project managers, and other stakeholders, as well as independently when needed. My commitment to creating impactful learning experiences and my dedication to continuous improvement make me a valuable asset to any organization.
When I'm not designing engaging learning solutions, you can find me reading books, crafting (crochet, embroidery, quilting, etc.), lifting weights, or training Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ). I recently had the opportunity to travel to Ireland, which is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited.
