An Instructional Designer & E-Learning Developer.
About Me
Professional Summary
I got my start in curriculum design and development 15 years ago, and have enjoyed every stop on my vocational adventure since then. I spent 10 years in the higher education sector, designing, developing, and delivering instructor-led learning experiences. I have since taken that wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to the private sector, where I love playing with the latest tech tools, from Articulate Storyline to Camtasia and Vyond (wait, I meant to say "beyond")!
In addition to coordinating a $3 million curriculum development project for the state of Washington, I have designed and developed an entire new hire training program, created customer onboarding videos for a tech startup, and created volunteer training assets for nonprofits.
I'm passionate about making learners' lives easier, including my own! If you're a lifelong learner, or if you employ lifelong learners, contact me and let's talk about how I can make your life easier too.
