At Progress-U and MTI, I designed leadership development programs for multinational companies in China, combining digital learning, in-person workshops, and group coaching. I also designed team development workshops for L’Oréal, Roche, and Manulife-Sinochem and Train-the-Trainer programs for URGO Medical.

At ACS, I designed e-learning and instructor-led programs, including a 30-hour OSHA safety e-learning course, and supported Turner Construction’s online corporate university and LMS implementation. My work spans instructional design, e-learning development, coaching, and facilitation.
