Experienced | Self-starter | Innovative | Skilled
With over ten years of experience in Instructional Design and Training & Development, I have demonstrated success in delivering training needs for new hires, employees, managers, senior leaders and executives throughout the employee lifecycle for both private industry and public institutions. I have experience in the health care and wealth management industries as well as in the University setting. I subscribe to the ADDIE model of training development, Backwards Design, BLOOM’s learning taxonomy, Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model, Knowles principles of adult learning and the EDGE method of training. I have three goals when creating training: first is to discover what the desired outcomes are, second is to determine how to measure success, and third is to create training that leads to the desired outcomes. I am skilled in the use of several e-learning technologies and systems as well as multi-media software to enrich the learning experience with images, audio and video. I love my profession and look for ways to exceed the expectations of my employer.
