Hire the Best e-Learning Consulting LMS Specialists in California

I have spent 12+ years building eLearning and instructional design projects, with a strong focus on regulated and compliance-driven environments where accuracy matters and details cannot be overlooked. I hold a Master's in Instructional Design and Technology and am Top Rated Plus with 100% Job Success on Upwork. I have built courses across healthcare, real estate licensing, construction safety, and regulatory onboarding. I manage the full lifecycle of a project, from needs analysis and SME collaboration through content development, Storyline and Rise builds, SCORM packaging, and LMS integration. The difference in how I work is in how I handle source material. If a regulation is cited in a lesson, I verify it against the actual statute or administrative code. I do not assume prior content is correct, and I do not rely solely on summaries. I cross-reference, confirm, and flag discrepancies before they become compliance issues later. I use AI strategically throughout my workflow. Not as a shortcut, but as a managed system. I work across multiple AI platforms and have developed a verification process that cross-checks AI-generated content for accuracy before anything reaches a client. On a recent 90-hour real estate pre-license course, that process caught fabricated statutory references that would have gone into a live, state-regulated course. AI makes me faster. My verification process keeps the work trustworthy. Most recently, I served as Course Content Manager on that 90-hour course update involving 275 learning objectives, Bloom-aligned lesson design across three cognitive levels, and a firm regulatory deadline. I verified citations against state administrative code, coordinated with stakeholders across content and exam prep, and helped bring the course to launch on schedule. That project produced over 1,000 assessment questions, all validated for accuracy and balanced for test design. I also build healthcare onboarding, internal software training, and corporate learning programs that require clear structure and accurate content. Whether the training is compliance-based or performance-focused, my goal is the same: organized, defensible, well-built learning experiences. Technically, I work in Articulate Storyline, Rise, Camtasia, and Vyond. I build SCORM-compliant packages and integrate cleanly into LMS platforms. I have worked across more LMS platforms than I can count at this point, and picking up a new one is just part of the job. If you need training built carefully and correctly from the start, I am happy to scope your project and provide a detailed quote within 24 hours.

I design learning experiences that help people think through real situations, make decisions, and apply what they learn on the job. For the past 18 years, I have worked across the entire learning process, from analysis and design to development and facilitation. I believe people learn best when they are given the opportunity to work through challenges and figure things out for themselves. Most training is designed to prevent mistakes. I design for what happens after them. I specialize in two areas: 1. Scenario-Based E-Learning: I design self-paced learning experiences that help learners make decisions, solve problems, and apply what they learn in real situations. This includes: • Learning analysis and course structure • Storyboards and scripts • Scenario-based lessons • Simulations and branching scenarios • Knowledge checks and feedback • Development in Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360 2. Facilitator-Led Training Design: I design instructor-led and virtual instructor-led experiences that give facilitators a clear structure while giving learners opportunities to think, discuss, practice, and reflect. This includes: • Session design and flow • Presentation materials • Facilitator guides • Participant materials • Case studies and scenarios • Activities and discussions Clients have described me as structured, organized, and someone who knows what she is doing. One client specifically chose scenario-based tutorials and simulations because they matched the type of learning experience they wanted for their team. If you are looking for training that helps people think through real situations and apply what they learn on the job, I would be glad to talk.

Hi, I create interactive eLearning content with Adobe Captivate, Articulate 360 Storyline & Rise, as well as whiteboard and animated content with Vyond. I use the most up to date software and am proficient with Adobe Creative Cloud including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Animate, After Effects as well as Microsoft Office 365.

I am comfortable designing course curriculums, storyboards, creating images for content slides, motion graphics, video, custom interactions, voice over and question slides. I can help you take an existing training, break down the learning objectives, meet with your SME’s, determine the level of desired interactivity and or gamification, create a course outline and storyboard, then develop the content with the authoring tool of your choice. I can then help you upload and maintain the content on your LMS as well as generate desired metrics to determine the effectiveness of the course. I love learning and creating content that is fresh and functional. I am loyal and reliable. I am also excellent with time management while producing high quality outcomes. Depending on your budget and learning goals there are several different approaches we can take to ensure project success. This can be done by following ADDIE guidelines or choosing Rapid development, creating a customized Adobe Captivate or templated Storyline Rise module.
