What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design learner-centered eLearning and blended training, collaborate with SMEs, use modern authoring tools, and contribute to measurable performance improvement.

I am an experienced instructional designer with over four years creating self-paced eLearning, hands-on exercises, and active learning modules grounded in adult learning theory and evolutionary design. I apply ADDIE, SAM, and scenario-based approaches to deliver clear, practical training that improves performance and engagement.

I've led SME collaboration and curriculum development across higher education and hospitality, designing staff training, course materials, and multimedia content using Storyline, Rise 360, Camtasia, and Adobe Creative Suite. I bring strong project management, time management, and leadership skills honed as a Division One athlete and through cross-functional teamwork.
