I write instructional content that holds attention — scripts, courses, and materials built around clarity, strong voice, and learner engagement. I most recently wrote scripts for a six-module Cisco IT Support certification course — developing the character voices and analogy frameworks that made dense technical content accessible to learners entering the field. I'm typically brought in when strong subject-matter content needs to become a cohesive, well-written, accessible learning experience. Tools: Articulate Storyline 360, Rise 360, SCORM-compliant LMS content Deliverables: Video scripts, course modules, workshop materials, facilitator guides
