LMS Administrator & Instructional Designer | Systems & Admin Support

Most LMS course builds fail before students ever open module three. Not because the content is bad — because the platform is set up wrong, the structure loses learners by design, and nobody catches it until completion rates tank. That's the gap I close. I'm a Learning Management System Administrator and Instructional Designer with 6+ years building, configuring, and troubleshooting LMS environments across Canvas, TalentLMS, Google Classroom, or aXcelerate— for K-12 schools, higher education, and corporate training teams. Here's what that looks like in practice: ☑ LMS Setup & Administration — I configure your platform from scratch, set up user roles and permissions, and get instructors running independently instead of waiting on tickets. ☑ Course & eLearning Design — From storyboard to published module, with clear instructional sequencing that keeps completion rates high instead of watching learners drop off by week two. ☑ Curriculum Development (K-12 & Higher Ed) — Learning objectives mapped to outcomes, standards-aligned content, and materials built to hold up under audit. ☑ LMS Troubleshooting & Audits — If your platform has a completion-tracking issue, a broken integration, or a confusing structure, I diagnose it and fix it — fast. Beyond course and platform work, I also run the operational side that keeps learning programs moving: ☑ Calendar and inbox management, scheduling, and day-to-day coordination ☑ Document, spreadsheet, and presentation support (Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Canva) ☑ File organization, cloud systems, and process documentation ☑ Project tracking in Asana or Planning Center Clients often bring me in for the LMS build and keep me on for systems and admin work—one point of contact instead of three. I’ve built and administered LMS platforms for organizations including BYU-Pathway Worldwide, Millennium Christian Academy, a program at Virginia Tech, and HomeSTEM Academy, maintaining a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork. I don't pad timelines or overpromise. If something's technically doable, I'll say so straight — and if it isn't, I'll tell you what will actually work instead. Send me an invitation or a brief description of your project. I respond within a few hours and offer a complimentary 15-minute discovery call so we can confirm fit before any commitment on your end.
