Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an instructional design and training professional with 12+ years of teaching and technical training experience across STEM, aviation, and international school environments. I specialize in instructional design models (ADDIE, Learner Analysis, Evaluation), curriculum development, assessment design, and blended learning that stays aligned to standards.
I deliver learning through LMS-supported experiences and hands-on training, using tools like Blackboard and Khan Academy, along with Canvas, Google Classroom, and MS Teams.
