What is Instructional Design?
Instructional design creates engaging online or in-person training that maximizes learning and performance. By improving retention and application, it reduces costly inefficiencies and boosts productivity.
When employees feel supported in their growth, they stay motivated and productive—leading to a stronger, more capable workforce. Quality instructional design ensures your training delivers real results.

My Work
See some examples of my work in e-learning development and instructional design.
Blended Learning for Faculty Development
Many residency faculty lack formal training in instructional strategies and assessment methods. My team designed a self-paced online certificate program to address those knowledge gaps. The program includes 14 Storyline modules with real-world scenarios and mentorship videos while enhancing learning with personalized assessment and feedback.
Inclusive Leadership Training
This leadership development e-learning program provided a flexible and engaging learning experience for underrepresented in medicine faculty. By integrating real-world advice, reflective activities, and microlearning strategies, the program contributed to measurable growth in learner confidence regarding leadership skills and career advancement.
Compliance Training for HR Professionals
Effective training is critical to minimize compliance risks and protect your organization's reputation. The course, built in Articulate Storyline, helped HR professionals identify, classify, and handle Personally Identifiable Information (PII) responsibly while adhering to regulations and company policies.
