    I’m sure you’ve sat through a boring PowerPoint presentation or clicked through compliance training that put you to sleep. If you’re looking to onboard your team or develop them professionally, you may think that these options are the only way, but how is your team supposed to learn when they’re sitting through training wishing they could be anywhere else? As common as these unengaging training options are, there is a better way! ENGAGING AND EFFECTIVE TRAINING I am a Senior Instructional Designer and Curriculum Developer with over a decade of hands-on experience in the learning field. I specialize in designing and developing visually-engaging learning materials that are designed to change the behavior of the learner to meet the needs of the organization. These courses include frequent knowledge checks and learner interactions to keep your team engaged and help them learn the content and skills they need. Additionally, I design training materials that help your team members stay engaged, meet learning objectives, and transfer their learning to the workplace with instructor-led training materials and job aids. EXPERTISE I work primarily in Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise) as well as PowerPoint to create learning materials. My focus is on ensuring that every learner is captivated through interactive elements such as videos, click-to-reveals, drag-and-drops, knowledge checks, and more. I provide instructional design consulting services, storyboard creation, curriculum, training presentations, eLearning courses, and in-person training materials to clients from small business to large corporate entities. INTERVIEW To determine if we are a mutually good fit, please schedule an initial pre-contract meeting through Upwork so we can discuss your project in detail. Once we have determined that we are a good match, you can send a contract through Upwork. If you have any questions before setting up this meeting, you can reach out to me via Upwork messaging. Once engaged in a contract, we can continue to communicate through the Upwork messaging platform or through email, phone, or text. MY PROCESS After the contract has been started, I typically follow these steps: CONSULTATION – First, we will meet to discuss your needs and expectations for the project. ANALYSIS – Depending on the project, I will analyze existing content or the need for training. If content is missing, I will ask you to provide additional materials or access to a subject-matter expert from your team to fill these gaps. DESIGN – I will create a storyboard, template, or prototype to show a first draft version of the training materials. DEVELOPMENT – Once the design has been approved, I will develop the learning materials using the content you have provided. I can provide PowerPoint presentations, Storyline or Rise courses, Vyond videos, or PDF training documents. Reach out if you need something beyond these options. EDITS – Depending on the scope of the project, I will submit the deliverable to you in part or whole for review. Then I will incorporate your requested edits. Typically, I will complete 2-3 draft iterations for each deliverable. FINAL DELIVERABLE – Once the edits have been completed, I will send you the final version of the deliverable and provide files for future revisions as appropriate. WORKING WITH ME Once under contract, I will check in with you periodically to update you on progress and get feedback on draft versions of learning materials. All payments must go through Upwork. I am open to both hourly and milestone projects. AVAILABILITY I am typically available to meet Monday-Thursday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST. I can schedule meetings outside of these hours if needed. NEXT STEPS Reach out to schedule an initial pre-contract meeting through Upwork to determine if we’re a good fit! You can also message me through Upwork to ask any questions you may have about my services. I look forward to the possibility of working with you to create an unforgettable learning experience for you, your company, and your learners!

    Agile Coach and Instructional Designer that can lead an organization or project or learning and development content. Am currently a Senior Agle Coach for a Fortune 100 company. Certified as a Scaled Agile Program Consultant (SAFe SPC), Project Management Professional (PMP), and Agile Leader/Scrum Master (PMI-ACP, CSM), I have coached, trained, and advised organizations and individuals in project management best practices and implement the agile best practices and methodologies. Aiding the transformation of teams from traditional project management to agile product development ways of working. An agile transformation is a journey. Having a knowledgeable, experienced guide to Beyond working directly with teams to apply and learn how to implement and mature as agile organizations, I develop and author training material to help teams understand the best practices and educate the enterprise about the company initiatives and objectives. Knowledge transfer is a key factor in launching Agile methods, obtaining buy-in, building excitement, and expanding learning, terminology, and growth. As an agile project manager and agile coach, I model the best practices and frameworks. Utilizing tight feedback cycles to optimize alignment and value creation. Cultivating agile environments to build high performing teams embracing relentless improvement mindsets based on collaboration and team identity. Developing a truly agile organizations takes time, practice, and willingness to challenge the status quo. Having the proper guide is crucial. Interactivity makes all the difference in creating and delivering training material! I relish in taking stale content and making it active. To create entirely new experiences and learning outcomes by tapping into new possibilities and creative means. To make presentations, trainings, tutorials, teasers, informational sessions, and videos more appealing and engaging, I leverage many leading technologies and software. Some tools include Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Adobe Illustrator, Character Animator, PowerPoint, and Audition. I enjoy creating interactive material that engages and entertains the user. Additionally, incorporating animation, graphic design, and visual elements can make even mundane content more interesting and effective. A prime example of this is PM City - PMP Exam prep 35 hour online course. PM City incorporates graphics and multimedia to present the learner with effective content that puts the user in control. The learner selects, moves, controls the content. They navigate at their own pace. They are more connected to the content as they progress. Games and learning assessments make retention fun. Whiteboard animation and animated characters bring complex and abstract concepts to life. Examples of this courseware are available at The Crowd Training website and their YouTube channel. Beyond PM City, I have produced agile training content for numerous clients. Agile material includes presentations, video lessons, job aides, documentation, and interactive tutorials. As an enterprise agile coach, my role is to assist teams and organizations understand the agile mindset and practice, then mature to achieve enterprise-wide success. Whether in a SAFe Scaled Agile framework or other structures, I have mentored and guided teams at all levels of maturation. Beyond the whiteboard animation and animated video content, I have authored courses and materials on agile project management, traditional project management, and other management topics for companies all over the world. They reuse my writing, video productions, interactive content, voiceovers, and other material as they need.
