    I’m a thoughtful and strategic UX writer and content designer skilled at crafting clear, concise, and accessible copy across multiple channels, including desktop, mobile web, Android, iOS, and email campaigns. I have experience collaborating with designers, product managers, marketing, engineers, and other stakeholders to align goals and strategies and ensure consistency across all user-facing content. I effectively balance user needs with business requirements, manage multiple projects and deadlines, and deliver content that drives results. I thrive in highly collaborative environments but am also self-directed and able to work independently. If you need someone to help you find the right words at the right time, let's chat.

    I bring seven years of experience in the EdTech industry, complemented by a Master's degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Educational Technology and Applied Learning Sciences. For adults 1. Teacher Training Program: - Assessed learners’ needs from the learning management system, using insights gained to design, develop, and implement a 1-year teacher training program. - The training program led to a significant 25% improvement in students’ academic performance and played a key role in obtaining additional projects, resulting in a 15% increase in the company’s annual revenue. 2. Internal training program: - Analyzed instructional designers' skill gaps to identify training needs, leading to the creation of a blended-training program focused on nurturing data-informed instructional design competencies. - Created and implemented learning materials and assessments for self-directed online courses, complemented by in-person projects, to bolster practical skills. - The training program achieved a 30% decrease in support requests and a 15% increase in course development and revision efficiency over six months. For young learners 1. Interactive multimedia online courses - Conducted contextual inquiries and interviews to determine the needs of teachers and secondary school students. - Collaborated with SMEs and clients to design curriculum concepts, establishing learning objectives aligned with Bloom's taxonomy. - Managed the development and release of two interactive multimedia online courses, handling scriptwriting, storyboarding, learning materials, formative assessments, and visual design, leading to over 5,000 student enrollments and an 83% course completion rate. 2. Multiplayer math game: - Conducted assessments to identify the mathematical needs of elementary school students. - Designed game-based learning experiences, utilizing learning science principles such as spaced repetition and gamification strategies to enhance memorization and engagement. - Developed a teacher dashboard featuring overviews of student performance and an alert system for identifying students needing extra support, in collaboration with UX researchers, UX designers, and software developers. - Managed the entire development cycle, including prototyping, usability testing, and iterative design over five months, leading to the creation of a high-fidelity MVP now advancing towards commercialization.

    An "out of the box" thinker, I believe strongly in innovation and limitless possibilities in life. These are the major factors that have spurred me to broaden my horizon and scope of knowledge. With a 1st degree in Environmental Management, I sought to diversify my scope of knowledge and delved into the Information technology (I.T) sector focusing on Product Design (UX/UI). An autodidact in this new field of interest, I have honed my skill in the past years through constant practice and tasks completed; kudos to experts in this field that assisted with materials and files that guided me on the path to this achievement. My ability to learn on the job is a skill I pride myself in. This has helped me grow constantly and remain relevant over the years.
