I am an Instructional Designer with experience in designing and developing courses ranging from onboarding to clinical procedures such as completing a blood draw. My background is education; I taught 6th grade Math and Science Intervention and Dual Immersion (Spanish). I also have in-depth experience in sales and insurance; I draw on this to form solid relationships with SMEs and stakeholders, based on trust and open communication.
I have always been an avid learner myself, since I was a food server at 16 and asked to be cross-trained as a cook! Since then, I have completed 3 Master’s degrees: an MBA and 2 M. Ed degrees. I completed them all online, which is where my passion for creating valuable and immediately applicable eLearning comes from.
In my spare time, I love to sing and get outside with my 8-year-old Klee Kai, Mila. I also love the Denver Broncos and enjoy friendly competition.
If you are struggling with underperforming employees or have high turnover, I can help you identify the problem areas and create a plan of action (be it training or a job aid or more communication). First and foremost, I am an advocate for the learner; I am creative and resourceful when it comes to identifying and eliminating barriers to success.
