What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovative instructional design and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As an experienced instructional designer, I have dedicated my career to creating engaging and effective e-learning experiences. My work spans various sectors, including government agencies and educational institutions, where I have developed comprehensive training programs tailored to diverse learning styles. I excel in collaborating with subject matter experts to ensure content accuracy and relevance, utilizing cutting-edge AI tools to enhance content creation and optimization.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed scenario-based eLearning, instructor-led training, and web-based training materials. My commitment to accessibility is evident in my role as a certified Trusted Tester, where I evaluate courses for compliance with Section 508 standards. I take pride in my ability to create interactive learning experiences that not only meet educational objectives but also foster learner engagement through multimedia elements and innovative instructional strategies.
