About Me

Who I am. I am an instructional designer and e-Learning developer.  With a background in occupational therapy and behavior analysis I am passionate about supporting people in building their repertoires, empowering them to be as independent and effective as possible.  

My Process & Approach.  I begin my process with gathering relevant information from stakeholders including taking the perspective of the learner.  Gathering relevant information could take the form of interviewing subject matter experts, surveying the potential learners, and reviewing data that has already been collected.  It is important for me to understand the desired outcomes of the organization and from this point, I can work backwards to support you in identifying learning solutions.  Using ADDIE and SAM models as a framework to develop learning solutions allows for a collaborative approach and multiple iterations of a learning solution until it becomes fine-tuned for rolling out to the intended audience.  Data collection and analysis are some of my favorite components to determine if a training has been effective and if it has met the business goal.  This is accomplished using Kirkpatrick's Level 2 evaluation framework via quiz results, learner survey data and Level 3 evaluation methods determined with the organization.  Examples of Level 3 evaluation methods can include employee performance data, customer satisfaction data, safety reports, customer retention rates and more.  I value constructive feedback throughout my process and use it to make decisions and guide learning solutions and recommendations that satisfies the requirements of the business goal.

Tools I use.  Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise 360, Canva, MS Office, Zoom, Google Workspace 

How I work with people.  I build rapport with stakeholders including peers, clients and subject matter experts (SME's) using an open, collaborative approach.  I have experience working with multiple teams and can pivot and adjust when necessary while keeping our common goal in sight. Once I’ve committed to a project I persevere through challenges and operate as a supportive team member in staying motivated to reach our goal.  

My mission. To support learners and organizations achieve their learning and business goals.  

When I’m not working.  You’ll find me spending time with family, reading historical fiction, gardening, walking, cycling, practicing yoga, searching for new recipes or planning a weekend get-away.
