What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead end-to-end digital learning initiatives, combine pedagogy and tech, work cross-functionally, and measure tangible learning impact.

I am a learning and development professional with nearly ten years of experience across classroom teaching, eLearning design, and end-to-end LMS integration and management. I build complete digital learning ecosystems, leading projects from needs analysis and curriculum design to content production, technical implementation, user management, and continuous optimization.

I combine strong pedagogical foundations with hands-on skills in graphic design, audio and video production, multimedia authoring, web design, data analytics, and LMS administration. My work focuses on bridging pedagogy, technology, and business needs to deliver engaging, high-quality learning experiences and measurable learning impact.
