I am a passionate and creative Digital Learning Designer with a background in healthcare and scientific research, which sets me apart in crafting impactful e-learning content. I have helped businesses and organisations across the education, healthcare, and corporate sectors design learning experiences that engage learners and deliver real, measurable results. My work blends instructional design principles, such as ADDIE and Bloom’s Taxonomy, with cutting-edge e-learning technologies to transform complex topics into easily digestible and inclusive content. I have experience in highly regulated, compliance-driven environments, designing learning solutions that meet rigorous standards while remaining engaging and effective. I have collaborated with subject matter experts (SMEs) to lead international teams, as demonstrated in my work with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), where I managed multiple projects across 18 countries. I am a strong advocate for inclusive education, ensuring that all learners, regardless of background, can access and benefit from the courses I design.
