About

I've spent about five years working on corporate learning projects, from the first discussions with clients and subject matter experts through scripting, design, development, revisions and final approval. I can build the learning material myself or work with graphic designers, animators and developers when a project needs a team. My experience covers compliance, software and process training, product education and blended learning. I'm available for freelance and short-term contract assignments.
