I began my career as a graphic designer and multimedia developer. Now as a seasoned Instructional Designer, I have multiple years of expertise in digital learning strategy, instructional design, and project management. I am skilled in training, digital accessibility, compliance, mobile learning, and continuous process improvement. In addition, I am adept at leading teams and collaborating with IT and vendor partners to deliver scalable, impactful learning solutions.
