Learning Strategist | Instructional Designer | Curriculum Developer

Instructional designer with 10 years creating learning programs that prioritize skill application over information delivery. I specialize in transforming complex content into practical training across healthcare, corporate compliance, and technical domains. Available for course development, curriculum strategy, content transformation, accessibility remediation, and project recovery. Contact me for a free 30mins consultation! I'd love to learn more about your project and approach to learning design. What I deliver: - Scenario-based learning that prepares learners for real decisions, not just assessments - Complete program design from needs analysis through delivery and iteration - Content that works within your constraints - tight timelines, limited budgets, challenging SMEs - Accessibility-compliant courses (WCAG 2.2 AA) across platforms - AI-based content development - scalable while maintaining high-quality Recent work: - Fortune 500 compliance training (16+ scenario activities, distributed team coordination) - University masters programs in pharmacology and clinical evaluation (became institutional standards) - AI-powered learning platform development (rapid content authoring and deployment) Tools: Articulate 360 (Rise/Storyline), Canvas, Moodle, OpenEdx, H5P, AI-assisted content development Approach: Evidence-based frameworks (Merrill's First Principles, backward design, 4C-ID) applied to your specific context - not academic theory, but practical methodology that improves outcomes. I work independently from brief to delivery, coordinate across technical and subject matter expert teams, and iterate based on learner performance data.
