I'm an eLearning Consultant with over 12 years of experience in learning and development (L&D) and more than 5 years specializing in instructional design (ID). I currently serve as an eLearning Developer at a leading academic medical institution, where I contribute to national public health initiatives through my work with the Pediatric Pandemic Network. In this role, I design and develop interactive, scenario-based training modules using Articulate Storyline, Rise, and Adobe Captivate. These resources empower healthcare professionals to respond effectively to pediatric public health emergencies, all while aligning with federal preparedness guidelines and educational best practices. I bring deep expertise in xAPI and learning analytics, enabling clients to track, measure, and continuously improve learner engagement and performance. I work closely with interdisciplinary teams—including clinicians, researchers, and public health experts—to deliver solutions that are both technically sound and learner-centric. In addition to my full-time role, I offer freelance instructional design and eLearning development services. Whether you need a polished module in a pinch or strategic support for a larger initiative, I’m known for delivering high-quality work quickly and reliably. I specialize in fast turnarounds without compromising creativity, clarity, or instructional value. If you're looking for someone who can translate complex content into accessible, engaging learning experiences—on time and on point—I'd love to connect.

With a master's degree in communication and past professions as an instructional designer and college teacher, I have been proofreading my entire career. I graduated from the University of Denver and went on to work for a company that designed courses for corporate clients. We created, edited, proofread, and taught the courses we custom designed for the client. I also taught public speaking at a local college, and I do freelance work as a proofreader for a small publishing company. My attention to detail is unprecedented, and I am very adept at discovering mistakes in writing. I recently graduated from the Proofread Anywhere course and am eager to begin my freelance proofreading career.
