I have been working in instructional design and training for over 12 years now. I have worked in higher education and currently work in a training setting for a healthcare organization. In my experience, I have written content to align with objectives, as well as develop materials such as presentations, elearning courses, and instructional aides. In addition, I have been a faculty member for various institutions for the past 5 years teaching in psychology and human services (online and in-person).

I help organizations prepare their people for AI-assisted work through practical training, facilitation, change support, and hands-on learning experiences. As a Facilitator, Learning & Development Consultant, and Change Management Specialist, I design and lead AI workshops, leadership sessions, Train-the-Trainer programs, curriculum, and learning strategies that turn complex ideas into practical action. My work helps leaders and teams move beyond AI awareness into confident, responsible use. Clients bring me in when AI feels confusing, training is not landing, change is creating friction, or teams need clear guidance on how to use GPT tools in real work without losing human judgment, quality, or care. Across my career, I have: Facilitated 500+ workshops, trainings, retreats, and leadership sessions Sustained 90–95% satisfaction across facilitated experiences Built learning ecosystems reaching 20,000+ participants with 1M annual engagements Designed AI/GPT learning programs that improved adoption by 45–70% and reduced design time by ~40% What I deliver: Practical AI foundations — plain-language AI 101 workshops that help teams understand generative AI, GPT tools, prompting, risks, and responsible use AI use case labs — hands-on sessions where teams identify real use cases, build prompts, test outputs, improve quality, and apply AI to everyday work Custom GPT and workflow design — support for building repeatable AI-enabled tools, assistants, prompt libraries, guardrails, and high-value workflows AI adoption and change support — facilitated sessions that reduce confusion, surface concerns, align expectations, and help teams move from uncertainty to action Human-centered GPT use — practical learning that helps people use AI without losing voice, judgment, creativity, trust, or critical thinking Train-the-Trainer for AI workshops — facilitator guides, practice labs, toolkits, and coaching so internal trainers and subject-matter experts can scale AI learning with confidence Facilitation that drives action — workshops, retreats, and working sessions that lead to clearer decisions, ownership, and next steps My approach is simple: make AI understandable, make learning useful, make change easier to navigate, and build capability that lasts after the workshop ends.
