My Approach

Interactive

I enjoy creating interactive learning experiences that actively engage learners and encourage meaningful participation. As an instructional designer, I use interaction, practice, and feedback to move learners beyond passive content and into real-world application. My design approach emphasizes learner agency, clarity, and intentional use of tools to support measurable outcomes.

Collaborative

I believe in the power of collaboration to design exceptional training resources. As an extension of your team, I immerse myself in your vision and goals. I work closely with you to develop content that not only reflects your brand but also exceeds your expectations.
