What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build accessible, high-impact learning programs, partner with subject matter experts, improve onboarding and product adoption, and use data to create practical solutions for diverse learners.

I've built 20+ SCORM-compliant eLearning modules for DeKalb County School System using Canvas, Canva, Articulate Storyline 360, and Rise 360, supporting more than 120 active learners. My branching scenarios and multimedia learning modules increased course completion rates by 35%.

At Purpose Built Schools and DeKalb Preparatory Academy, I created instructional toolkits, multi-site deployment playbooks, and onboarding frameworks that improved proficiency by 15% and reduced organization-wide turnover by 25%.

I translate complex learning objectives into practical training through close collaboration with subject matter experts. I also bring experience in accessibility, WCAG 2.1, Universal Design for Learning, change management, facilitator development, and performance analysis.
