I design accessible, measurable learning experiences that strengthen performance and confidence.
What I'm looking for
I am a learning experience designer who aligns programs with institutional and business goals, creating accessible, human-centered learning that strengthens performance and learner confidence. I design curriculum, e-learning, interactive video, instructor-led workshops, and visual job aids, delivering measurable results through collaborative planning and clear evaluation.
My work has included leading platform transitions and onboarding that trained faculty, reduced support tickets (40% and 25% in separate projects), cut onboarding time by 50%, and improved course launch success. I establish assessment plans, reusable templates, storyboards, and coach SMEs and designers to raise content quality, shorten build time, and improve completion and clarity.
