Performance & Value Focused Instructional Designer

I'm a technical instructional designer who works collaboratively with subject matter experts, business partners, and stakeholders in corporate environments.

I enjoy creating high-quality, engaging, and valuable digital training for a diverse audience meant to improve performance or solve performance problems in less time.

I'm available evenings and weekends for freelance instructional design and contract eLearning developer roles with Articulate Rise and Storyline

My specialties

  • Translate technical & IT into digestible content for non-techies.
  • Redesigning instructor-led training for effective and shorter online delivery
  • Creating software training to be realistic and scenario-rich.
  • Analyzing complex needs to learn if training is a fit and how to best approach a project to improve performance.
  • Using digital adoption platforms (DAPs) to help employees use software in the flow of their work.
