About

I’m an Instructional Design leader with 10+ years of experience building learning programs across corporate, compliance, and education environments. I focus on turning complex job and business needs into clear course structures, engaging eLearning, and high-quality assessments—while partnering closely with SMEs, media teams, vendors, and global stakeholders.

What excites me most is using AI to accelerate and improve instructional design workflows. From developing AI-assisted quality checks to prototyping intelligent agents that support tasks like storyboard and assessment creation, I help teams deliver faster, with better consistency and measurable learning outcomes. I also enjoy mentoring teams and onboarding new hires so everyone can adopt modern AI-enabled learning practices confidently.
