I design learning experiences that actually change how people think and perform, drawing on 7+ years of corporate instructional design and 24 years as a classroom educator and curriculum leader. I am a former Top Rated freelancer returning to Upwork after a period of full-time employment, and I bring the same standard of work I always have: clear communication, reliable delivery, and content that holds up to scrutiny from real subject matter experts. What sets me apart is the breadth and depth of my background across several distinct domains: Financial Services & Regulated Industries I hold FINRA licenses (SIE, Series 6, Series 63) from my time as a Registered Representative at NYLIFE Securities, and I currently work as a Senior Instructional Designer at a regional bank, where I have led full LMS migrations, designed compliance and fraud training, and built learning programs for teams of 2,000+ employees. I understand regulated content from the inside, which means I do not just write training, I get the substance right. K-12 Curriculum & Social-Emotional Learning I spent 24 years teaching in public schools, including roles as an AVID coordinator and AP Psychology instructor. I am the author of a published 16-week SEL curriculum implemented in a 9th grade classroom, and I have written curriculum professionally for platforms including Bloomster. My M.S. in Psychology grounds this work in genuine learning science rather than surface-level familiarity. Instructional Design & eLearning Development I work in Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise), Camtasia, and Adobe Creative Suite, applying ADDIE, SAM, and Kirkpatrick frameworks to build eLearning, blended learning, and instructor-led training. I have converted legacy paper-based content into interactive digital modules, designed certification programs, and built assessments that actually measure what they claim to measure. Writing & Content Development I write across genres and registers: technical training content, mental health and psychology writing for publications including PsyPost and Take2Minutes, marketing copy, and educational materials for adults and children. I am comfortable adapting voice and tone to match an existing brand or platform standard rather than imposing my own. What I bring to every project: Honest communication about scope, timeline, and fit before I commit to anything A process-driven approach: needs analysis before content, measurable objectives before design Comfort with mature, sensitive, or complex subject matter handled professionally and without judgment Active use of AI tools (Copilot, Gamma, Canva AI) to accelerate development without sacrificing quality or original thinking Reliable, consistent delivery against agreed timelines If your project involves financial services content, K-12 or SEL curriculum, corporate eLearning, technical or instructional writing, or content requiring a genuine subject matter foundation rather than generic instructional design, I would welcome the chance to discuss it.
