MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE! I have had a long journey with Training and Development since I was a sophomore. Joining AIESEC, the largest international organization for students, and becoming the Vice President of Talent Management got me exposed to public speaking and delivering training in front of hundreds of people. At that time, no one could imagine that a Finance student has become a real Human Resources person, but I DID MAKE IT HAPPEN. Then, getting married and becoming a mother haven't stopped me from pursuing my dream to study overseas. Leaving a well-paid job with high social status in my home country, I decided to study in Canada and started my life from scratch. Many naysayers said I was too risky and ambitious, but I KEEP BELIEVING IN MY VISION. With more than 7 years in Training and Development and designing hundreds of training contents for different target audiences, I can efficiently use different designing softwares ( Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator), making videos ( Adobe Premiere Pro CC, After Effect), authoring tools (Storyline 360, Rise 360, Camtasia, Vyond), SaaS application (Webflow), HTLM5 & CSS, and a plethora of sources to make the most appropriate training content. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO what I can do. My key secret for all of these: pouring your heart into what you are doing with the highest sense of accountability. I do believe I can deliver my best values to any organizations I work for!

Most clients come to me saying "we need a course on X." My first job is to find out whether training is even the right fix. Sometimes the real problem is a broken process or a documentation gap that no course will solve, and I'll tell you that up front before you spend money building the wrong thing. When training is the answer, I build it to change behavior on the job, not just check a compliance box. I've spent 10+ years designing learning for technical, safety, and compliance-heavy environments, including oil and gas, legal, and construction. That means I already understand how regulated work operates: the documentation standards, the legal exposure, and the reason a "Next" button sometimes needs to stay locked for 60 seconds on a policy slide so nobody skims content that matters. You won't spend weeks bringing me up to speed on how your industry works. What I bring to a project: • Front-end analysis to find the real performance gap before anything gets built (ADDIE or SAM, depending on what the project needs) • Course design grounded in adult learning theory, with measurable objectives and assessments that test the right skill instead of just recall • Production-ready builds in Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise 360 • LMS setup and configuration (Moodle, Litmos, TalentLMS) so learning paths and progress tracking actually work • Clear SME collaboration and tight scope management, so projects don't quietly balloon mid-build A few things you can count on: I keep communication plain, you'll see the work along the way with no surprise reveals, and I deliver in the formats your team already uses. I hold an M.Ed in Educational Technology and I'm a certified TESOL instructor, which shows up in how carefully I handle language and clarity. If you have a performance problem and you're not even sure training is the answer, send me the details. I'll tell you what I'd actually recommend. TESTIMONIALS 1.
