What I'm looking for
I am an Instructional Design Leader with over 10 years of experience in education and more than 2 years in leadership roles within eLearning. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering scalable, competency-based training that aligns with organizational goals and accreditation standards. I excel in managing instructional design teams and implementing AI-powered learning tools, which have significantly improved development workflows and learner outcomes.
At Deployed Services, I led a team of four instructional designers, where we implemented mentorship strategies and OKRs that resulted in an 18% improvement in course quality ratings across compliance training modules. My innovative approach to integrating AI tools into production workflows reduced course development time by 20% and increased learner completion rates by 25%. I am passionate about redesigning course development methodologies to enhance instructional consistency and reduce rework, ensuring that every learner receives the highest quality education.
My previous roles have equipped me with a strong foundation in project management and collaboration with subject matter experts. I have successfully developed eLearning modules that adhere to federal guidelines and have maintained a 100% on-time delivery rate across multiple projects. My dedication to accessibility and inclusive practices has led to significant improvements in educational outcomes, and I am eager to continue making a positive impact in the field of instructional design.
