ALL LEARNING IS CONNECTED

learning design
& dev

From onboarding programs to compliance training, I develop learner-centered content grounded in adult learning theory and instructional design best practices. Whether it's a full interactive course built in Articulate Storyline or a targeted microlearning module, every design decision is intentional — and tied to real performance outcomes.

systems & lms

I specialize in systems: LMS administration, content management and online delivery— from Cornerstone and Canvas to Moodle and Brightspace. I've led platform builds, scaled content architectures, ensured accessibility and elevated the user experience at every step. If it powers learning, I know how to make it work better.

With a PMP certification and years of cross-functional collaboration, I bring structure and clarity to complex learning initiatives. From needs analysis on through to delivery, I manage timelines, stakeholders, and deliverables — so nothing falls through the cracks.

ai integration

At the intersection of AI and instructional design - I've made use of tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini during development workflows while continuing to push further into what these platforms can actually do.

 

It's not about replacing the human touch — it's about amplifying it. It's about making room in a teacher's day, for teaching.

Onboarding engineers at scale for one of the world's most recognized technology companies requires more than good content — it requires a system. This case study covers the design and implementation of technical training for brand new support engineers.
