What I'm looking for

I seek senior instructional design or L&D consulting roles where I can lead instructional strategy, design scalable learner-centric solutions, collaborate with SMEs, and drive measurable learning outcomes in diverse domains.

I am a Senior Instructional Designer and L&D consultant with 13+ years of experience designing end-to-end learning solutions across corporate, banking & finance, government, technical, non-technical, and K–12 domains. I specialize in instructional strategy, curriculum design, e-learning (WBT), ILT, simulations, mobile learning, and assessment design, and I apply ADDIE, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and adult learning principles to create scalable, measurable outcomes.

I have led and mentored instructional teams, collaborated with SMEs and stakeholders, managed vendor relationships, and delivered RBI-aligned compliance training and government/public-sector initiatives. Recognized for simplifying complex regulatory and technical content, I focus on learner engagement, accessibility, and instructional accuracy to drive measurable improvements in performance and learning adoption.
