A collection of job aids created for a varied of situations.
Job aid #1
Situation
In many organizations, subject matter experts (SMEs) are asked to teach or facilitate courses without having formal training in instructional strategies. While their content expertise is strong, they often struggle to maintain learner engagement—especially in remote or virtual environments. Low engagement can lead to reduced attention, poor retention, and limited real-world application of the material.
Solution
To address this challenge, I created a quick-reference job aid that provides simple, actionable strategies instructors can use to make remote learning more interactive and effective.

Job aid #2
Situation
During weapons qualification or refresher training, soldiers often need quick reminders of the key fundamentals for zeroing their M4 or M16 rifles. While these fundamentals are taught during initial training, it’s easy to forget small but critical steps under stress or after long intervals between range sessions.
Solution
To support skill retention and reinforce proper technique, I created a simple visual reference guide that soldiers can use before, during, and after range time. The goal was to make the information easy to recall, even in the field, without relying on lengthy written instructions.

Conducting Engaging Meetings Infographic.pdfJob aid #3
Situation
Meetings are a daily occurrence, but they’re not always productive or engaging. I noticed that many team members and learners struggled to maintain engagement or effectively facilitate discussions. Participants often multi-tasked or lost focus, and presenters sometimes lacked strategies to keep attention and interaction high.
Solution
Recognizing this challenge, I wanted to create a reference tool that could help colleagues quickly understand how to make meetings more engaging, whether in-person or virtual. The design emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and quick readability.
Rather than designing another PowerPoint training, I opted to create an infographic due to it being easily referenced before or during meetings and shared across teams.
