I help organizations of all sizes — from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 teams — turn outdated training, SOPs, PowerPoints, and SME expertise into engaging eLearning that improves performance and delivers measurable results. Senior Instructional Designer & Learning Consultant, 18+ years.
Most clients come to me when they need more than someone who can "build slides." They need a strategic learning partner who connects instructional design, learner experience, business goals, and technology — and who reliably moves a project from concept to completion.

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 & 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
Already have content? I provide senior-level review and validation of existing courses, storyboards, and materials — checking instructional soundness, accuracy, learning objectives, assessment quality, accessibility, and compliance before you launch. A fast, high-value way to protect your investment and catch issues early. (Offered at my expert consulting rate.)
𝗠𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗟 & 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘𝗗 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚
Training a global or multilingual workforce? I localize existing courses into additional languages — or build new ones in the languages you need — handling on-screen text, narration, graphics, and layout so each version feels native, not just translated. Using AI voice and video, I produce professional multilingual narration quickly and cost-effectively, and deliver multi-language SCORM/xAPI packages ready for your LMS.
𝗔𝗜-𝗘𝗡𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗗 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚
