I'm a Top Rated curriculum developer who builds engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences, and I now help organizations turn AI tools into actual team capability through custom GPTs, Claude Projects, and structured training programs. My background is in K-12, adult learning, and teacher professional development, where I've led curriculum teams and designed everything from year-long programs to hands-on STEM courses. That same instructional design lens is exactly what makes AI implementations work. Most teams fail with AI not because the tools are bad, but because no one has built the training, workflows, and documentation around them. What I do: 1. AI training programs for small business and education teams: Onboarding curriculum, video modules, practice exercises, and SOPs that get your team from zero to confident with tools like ChatGPT and Claude. 2. Custom GPTs and Claude Projects: Purpose-built AI assistants trained on your business, designed with the same care I'd give a course (clear instructions, tested outputs, real workflows). 3. AI-powered course and content development: I help coaches, consultants, and education companies build courses faster without sacrificing instructional quality. 4. Curriculum and learning experience design: Inquiry-based and project-based K-12 lessons, full course outlines, STEM and coding programs, and teacher professional development. 5. Leadership in curriculum development: I've led curriculum teams at the K-8 level, overseeing cross-subject content creation and instructional design. 6. Adult learning programs: Practical, accessible modules that support career growth and workplace learning. I work best with clients who want a thoughtful partner, not just a deliverable. If you have a vague idea and need someone to turn it into a real program with structure, sequence, and something your learners will actually use, let's talk.

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.
