Throughout my career, I have collaborated with stakeholders and subject matter experts to design engaging course materials using various instructional methods, including Articulate and Adobe Creative Cloud. My experience spans multiple industries, including telecommunications and healthcare, where I have successfully managed training initiatives for large-scale teams.
