About Me

I specialize in creating learning solutions for technology and SaaS platforms where the challenge isn't just teaching software—it's making complex systems feel intuitive and accessible.

My background spans both customer education and employee enablement, working with companies like Delta Air Lines, Instacart, Kraken, Salesforce, and Mercedes-Benz USA. I've led LMS implementations, developed certification programs, designed onboarding experiences, and created everything from quick reference guides to fully immersive interactive simulations.

What drives me is the intersection of strong visual design, solid instructional principles, and measurable business impact. I use learner data to identify knowledge gaps, collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand technical functionality, and develop content that improves the metrics that matter—whether that's QA scores, CSAT, resolution accuracy, or product adoption.

How I Work

A proven approach to creating effective learning experiences

1

Understand the Problem

I collaborate with subject matter experts and stakeholders to identify the real learning challenge—not just what people need to know, but what they need to be able to do.

2

Design the Solution

I determine the right format and approach for the content: interactive eLearning, video, simulation, job aid, or a combination. The medium follows the need.

3

Build With Quality

I develop content that balances strong instructional design with visual polish—high-quality voiceover, thoughtful graphics, and attention to detail throughout.

4

Measure and Improve

I analyze learner performance data and feedback to identify what's working, address gaps, and continuously improve training effectiveness.
