Have you ever sat through a really boring training? One in which you didn't see the value? One that didn't apply to you AT ALL?
Me, too.
It's time to do something about that.
Hi, I'm Katie!
I am an experienced instructional designer and e-Learning developer with a deep commitment to creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences. Over the course of my career, I have dedicated myself to crafting instructional opportunities that cater to diverse learners and promote knowledge acquisition.
My work encompasses various aspects of learning design, from the initial analysis phase through to evaluation. I specialize in crafting e-Learning, instructor-led training (ILT), virtual instructor-led training (vILT), blended courses, and job aids, among other educational resources. I take pride in my ability to bridge learning gaps and drive tangible performance and behavior changes through the learning solutions I create.
My professional strengths extend beyond content creation. I excel in project management, ensuring that each project is well-organized, efficiently executed, and meets its deadlines. I am skilled at working independently and have a knack for clear communication. The dynamic nature of my work means I frequently manage multiple projects in fast-paced environments, maintaining a strong commitment to quality.
Throughout my career, I've gained extensive experience in team and project management. My ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) has allowed me to deliver high-impact learning solutions. Proficiency in multiple authoring and development tools, as well as various learning management system (LMS) environments, enables me to adapt to diverse technological requirements.
My dedication to professional growth drives me to stay current with emerging tools, learning technologies, and knowledge management systems. This commitment ensures that I remain at the forefront of instructional design practices, providing the best solutions for my clients and learners.
Beyond my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, including my husband, 6-year-old daughter, dog named Cinderella, and two turtles. I indulge in hobbies like diamond painting, reading, and lounging at my pool. Plus, I'm an avid planner, always looking forward to my next magical adventure to Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true.
