Community Events
I recently had the pleasure of speaking at the 2025 Stonecreek Junior High School Career Fair about how students can get into Learning Experience Design.
What do Hank Green, TikTok chefs, and video game tutorials all have in common? They’re all great examples of the power of good Learning Experience Design!

I am an Instructional Designer with a decade of industry experience, 6 of which have been leading instructional design teams to create effective learning solutions.
Growth
My leadership has driven organizational growth, enabling us to handle a 44% increase in project load year after year, while expanding our audience from internal staff to healthcare members and our entire provider network of 15,000 learners.
Community
Through my role as a Learning Health Plans of California Board Member, I fostered collaboration among state-funded health plans and led initiatives to promote professional development in the healthcare sector.
eLearning & Process Improvement
Even if a training program is successful, there is always room for improvement. Analyzing existing training flows and tweaking to better support learners with proper application of adult learning methodologies.

Gamified training elements that take a challenging topic like reporting compliance violations within 3 days of discovery and transform them into engaging trainings with measurable results.
