I am a creative professional that brings engagement and an eye for detail to every project. I am passionate about creating content that is interesting and accessible to every learner. I specialize in e-learning and instructional design, and I have an extensive background in curriculum development, with strengths in alignment between objectives, instruction, and assignment. I currently utilize Articulate Storyline 360 to build interactive courses. If you are looking for a freelancer who will complete projects with enthusiasm, accuracy, and professionalism, I am ready to get started, and I would love the opportunity to work with you.

I help organizations turn scattered ideas, expert knowledge, policies, and training needs into clear, usable learning materials. I specialize in curriculum development, instructional design, instructor-led training, PowerPoint training decks, participant workbooks, facilitator guides, assessments, onboarding materials, SOPs, and LMS-ready course structure. Clients usually come to me when they have content, but not a course. They may have transcripts, rough notes, SME interviews, old slides, compliance requirements, or a general training goal. I organize the material, identify the learning objectives, build the structure, and create training materials that are practical, teachable, and easy to implement. My work has included leadership development, employee onboarding, workforce readiness, communication training, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, financial literacy, career exploration, compliance-adjacent training, LMS implementation, and multi-module course design. Past projects include: • Full curriculum and training builds for corporate, nonprofit, education, and government clients • Instructor-led training decks with facilitator notes and learner activities • Participant workbooks, guided reflection tools, and scenario-based exercises • LMS course planning, implementation support, and documentation • Training programs for leadership, communication, coaching, onboarding, and workforce development • Systems documentation, SOPs, workflow improvement, and process clarity Before freelancing, I served in training, business analysis, program management, and workforce development roles, including work with the State of Kansas and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka. That background shapes how I build: not just polished content, but training systems that actually function in the real world. I am a strong fit if you need someone who can take unclear material and turn it into a clean learning experience with structure, logic, and practical application.

With a B.A. in Biology from Baylor University and a Master of Education from Texas A&M University–Commerce, I bring a strong foundation in science, education, and leadership. My background includes expertise in curriculum development, instructional strategies, and student support, paired with advanced proofreading and editing skills that ensure clarity and accuracy in academic and professional work. I have experience applying research-based practices, problem-solving, and communication skills to help learners succeed. Dedicated to lifelong learning, I aim to positively impact students and the broader community. - Certified Proofreader through Proofread Anywhere, demonstrating expertise in grammar, punctuation, and attention to detail - Proofreader for Distributed Proofreaders, reviewing and preparing texts for digital publication -Contributor to Project Gutenberg, editing and formatting public domain works to ensure accuracy and readability

Do you need to build a new training program from the ground up? Do you have existing programs that are outdated, ineffective, fragmented, or missing a strong instructional design foundation? Do you just need a reliable training and development partner? I can help. Clients partner with me when they are preparing for workforce transitions, capturing subject matter expertise before retirement or turnover, scaling onboarding efforts, modernizing training programs, or creating systems that support long-term organizational growth. I can help transform complex information into structured, sustainable training programs. I bring strategy, architecture, structure, and execution to initiatives designed to perform—not simply inform. My focus is helping organizations solve real-world business challenges through knowledge transfer, workforce readiness, onboarding systems, process documentation, learning architecture, and measurable performance outcomes.
