I've spent more than twelve years taking complicated subject matter and turning it into training people can actually use. Sometimes that means starting with a pile of SME notes and building the curriculum from the ground up. Sometimes it's rebuilding an existing course, developing interactive Storyline training, or researching content that has to stand up to regulatory or compliance review.
My work spans healthcare, legal education, real estate licensing, construction safety, workforce development, onboarding, and other specialized industries. I am particularly strong when the content is complex, unfamiliar, or regulated and someone needs to be able to trust the finished product.
I partner closely with subject matter experts and quickly learn unfamiliar industries. My current work includes collaborating with a Harvard-educated attorney and law professor on advanced legal education, translating sophisticated legal concepts and source material into structured learning without losing the nuance of the subject matter. That ability to work alongside experts and make complex knowledge teachable has been central to my work across industries.
Much of my work involves content where accuracy matters, including training that must hold up under regulatory review.
If a regulation is cited in a lesson, I verify it against the actual statute or administrative code. I don't assume existing content is correct. I cross-reference, confirm, and flag discrepancies before they become compliance issues later.
I recently completed a state licensing curriculum update involving 275 learning objectives across 18 modules for a 90-hour Arizona real estate course. I verified statutory citations, collaborated with SMEs, managed regulatory content, and delivered more than 1,000 validated assessment questions on schedule.
I hold a Master's in Instructional Design and Technology and am Top Rated Plus with 100% Job Success on Upwork. I manage the full lifecycle of a project, from needs analysis and SME collaboration through learning objectives, content development, Storyline and Rise 360 builds, SCORM packaging, and LMS integration.
I use AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok throughout my workflow for research, analysis, ideation, drafting, and problem solving. They help me work faster and explore problems from different angles, but they do not replace professional judgment or source verification. When accuracy matters, learner-facing claims are checked against authoritative sources before I deliver the work.
Beyond regulated training, I build healthcare onboarding, internal software training, and corporate learning programs that require clear structure and accurate content. I develop in Articulate Storyline, Rise 360, Camtasia, and Vyond. I build SCORM-compliant packages and integrate cleanly into LMS platforms.
If your project requires thoughtful instructional design, careful research, and dependable execution, I'd be happy to scope it and provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.
A note on my workflow: I use AI tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok as part of my professional process. I personally review all final work, verify content against authoritative sources when accuracy matters, and make the final judgment on every deliverable. I take full professional responsibility for the accuracy and quality of the work I deliver.
