What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to innovate in training solutions and foster a collaborative learning environment.

I am a seasoned Senior Instructional Designer and eLearning Specialist with a strong background in developing effective learning solutions tailored to business needs. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have successfully designed and implemented various training programs, including new hire onboarding, compliance training, and leadership development. I leverage proven methodologies such as ADDIE and adult learning theory to create engaging and impactful learning experiences.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with subject matter experts and key stakeholders to ensure that training content aligns with organizational goals. My technical proficiency with tools like Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, and various Learning Management Systems enables me to produce high-quality eLearning modules and instructor-led training materials.
