Sam B.
Instructional Designer & Curriculum Development Specialist
I'm an instructional designer and curriculum development specialist with over 15 years of experience designing curriculum and instructional content — from communication and public speaking to language instruction and 250+ educational videos produced for corporate and ed-tech clients. Increasingly, that expertise extends to AI-generated educational content: I work as a human-in-the-loop specialist, refining AI-assisted curriculum, lesson plans, and instructional materials so they teach the way a real, experienced educator would, not just a prompt. I'm also an accomplished narrator, having recorded titles with the nation's top publishers and outfits, and I'm perfectly bilingual in English and French, with advanced fluency in Spanish
