As an independent instructional designer, technical communicator, and learning strategist, I am a highly adept business analyst, training specialist, technical writer, and courseware/eLearning developer with cross-functional experiences in education and business. I am results-focused and an efficient leader with proven ability to develop and deliver technology curriculums, technical documentation, business improvement process strategies, and training on time with exceptional feedback from participants and leadership. I have a talent for working with individuals at all levels of technology and learning readiness.   I have strong learning and development project management skills in the following areas: 

  • Working in a consulting relationship with clients and clients’ employees and customers to develop learning solutions to complex business problems 
  • Executing all stages of the instructional design process – needs assessment, design, development, implementation and evaluation – with an emphasis on development and maintenance 
  • Developing a range of needs-based educational products, including classroom materials (ILT), online performance support, e-learning, and print-based learning solutions 
  • Developing enterprise-wide training readiness and adoption deployment plans

As a consultant, I am available for instructional design, technical communications, project management, training and development, and enterprise-wide training deployment assignments.  Prefer to telecommute, but not essential if local or flexible onsite schedule.

“I help you to deliver the right information, at the right time, on the right device, in the right context, and with the right guidance.”
