    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Excellent and responsible. Would highly recommend.” My goal is to create positive user experiences that are useful and relevant for the people you serve. I am a skilled Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise) eLearning developer, and an Instructional Designer with a strong background in learning strategies. Using resources like Articulate Storyline or Articulate Rise, I can create well designed, visually appealing courses with interactive elements to help your organization. As an instructional designer, I create learning objectives, design outlines and training plans, edit training modules and courses for clarity, write content and scripts for online learning, make power point presentations for in-person facilitation, find and add images to courses, and audit presentations to provide feedback for future changes. Before working in Learning and Development, I worked in sales and customer support for large brands. I understand that consistency is important, and I work with clients to understand their organization and mirror their presentation branding when possible. Whether you are looking to serve outside customers by selling your course or train internal staff members, I can consult with you as you consider aspects of your learning and development program. With each project I am happy to collaborate with team members and subject matter experts, and I will also review your current PowerPoint presentations, training manuals, blog posts and written articles to help with your course development. I can also perform more general virtual assistant tasks involving course maintenance, including uploading files to a Learning Management System, tracking assignments and course completion, booking travel, creating course packets, refining documents, editing and cleaning up PowerPoint files for presentations, reviewing or screening resumes, etc. Please ask me for more details specific to your project.

    Hi, I’m Geena! I'm a former high school science teacher turned flower farmer and remote support specialist. For over 7 years, I taught and led teams in the classroom, developing strong skills in organization, communication, curriculum design, and project management. I’m passionate about clear systems, helpful resources, and creating meaningful experiences, whether that’s for students, clients, or customers. Now, I run Geen’s Greens Flower Farm, where I grow seasonal blooms, create bouquet recipes, manage florist accounts, and run all the behind-the-scenes operations. From designing marketing materials in Canva to building schedules, responding to emails, and managing my website, I’ve become a one-woman operations team. I love working with purpose-driven brands. Especially in the floral, education, or creative space by bringing structure, warmth, and reliability to whatever I do. Let’s build something beautiful together!
