Transforming training into dynamic, engaging learning experiences that drive skill acquisition and enthusiasm.
Featured Project
I designed and built a scenario-based training that invites learners to explore the world of integrated pest management.
Instead of just reading about it, users make decisions and see the consequences in a vibrant, simulated environment, fostering a deeper understanding of how to maintain a sustainable garden that truly benefits the ecosystem.
My Work in Action
A New Perspective on the Student Journey: To help new hires build empathy and truly understand the student experience, I created an immersive game that takes them on that journey firsthand.
Empowering Leaders: I facilitated engaging leadership workshops, including Situational Leadership, to help cultivate the next generation of leaders within the college.
Mastering Difficult Conversations: Through a series of dynamic, scenario-based workshops, I used role-play to build confidence and strengthen coaching, feedback, and communication skills across teams.
Making Data Accessible: I developed an interactive "Employee Data Literacy" course in Articulate Rise, empowering all employees to use data for smarter, more informed decision-making.

I developed a comprehensive suite of resources—from engaging videos and user guides to interactive courses and flexible training sessions—all tailored to meet the diverse needs of our staff and faculty.
