Owoko Rodgers
@owokorodgers
Learning & development professional driving measurable learner outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a driven learning and development professional with 7+ years designing and delivering instructional programs, coaching initiatives, and content for diverse, distributed audiences. I leverage adult learning principles and data-driven insights to improve engagement, skill acquisition, and performance outcomes.
At Athena I designed learner observation templates, AI-assisted assessment workflows, and engagement tracking systems that improved scoring efficiency and surfaced disengagement risks early. Previously I redesigned CodeHive modules, trained over 250 learners, and provided year-long coaching to internship participants to support workplace readiness.
I work effectively in remote learning environments, facilitate virtual sessions, and collaborate with stakeholders across multiple countries to align curricula, calibrate rubrics, and measure learning effectiveness. I am seeking to apply these skills in remote Learning Experience, Instructional Design, or L&D roles that prioritize measurable impact and scalable learner solutions.
