What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in instructional design and collaborate with diverse teams to enhance learning experiences.

As an instructional designer, I am dedicated to creating engaging, learner-centered experiences that leverage evidence-based design, technology, and creativity. With a Master’s of Education in Curriculum & Instruction and certifications in Instructional Design and Technical Writing, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my work.

Throughout my career, I have partnered with Subject Matter Experts to design Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) and e-learning courses on critical topics such as Cybersecurity and Canadian Data Protection. My experience includes developing an e-learning course on Cargo Securement for the Alberta Motor Transport Association and creating performance support tools for clients like Stanford University and Syncrude.

I am committed to conducting thorough Learning Needs Analyses to identify gaps and address them with targeted training and support materials. My ability to manage multiple deliverables while ensuring quality assurance in fast-paced environments has been key to my success in instructional design.
