@abigailbaulkwill
Instructional designer who turns performance gaps into practical learning experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m an instructional designer and developer with 5 years of experience facilitating learning experiences across in-person and remote settings. I design and develop scenario-based learning, microlearning, and performance support that help learners apply complex content in practical ways, aligning learning objectives, organizational goals, and performance outcomes.
I collaborate with subject matter experts and stakeholders to identify performance gaps, design targeted solutions, and measure training impact. In independent projects, I’ve managed multi-cohort programs and built scenario-based simulations that improved skill proficiency by 10%, standardized large-scale content libraries, and developed performance support tools used by 600+ stakeholders.
