Learning Experience Designer & Developer

For 7+ years, I’ve designed learning experiences that turn complex workflows, products, and human decisions into clear, interactive practice.

Selected Work

A collection of custom simulations, scenario-based activities, and multimedia lessons designed to address real workplace learning challenges.

Interpretation Request Simulator

Multi-system workflow simulation

A custom training microsite where frontline support staff practice coordinating interpreter services across four simulated systems. Learners work through realistic service requests, navigate between tools, and respond to changing circumstances, with feedback throughout.

Escalation Response Practice

Scenario-based safety escalation practice

A custom interactive activity that helps frontline support teams recognize potential safety concerns during customer interactions. Across chat, phone, and email scenarios, learners distinguish routine frustration from threatening statements, decide when escalation is necessary, and receive feedback on their decisions.

Supporting Commercial Airline Pilots

Audience-specific program launch training

Developed for a new program serving commercial airline pilots, this multimedia lesson prepares care teams to recognize audience-specific concerns about mental health support. Through storytelling, audio, and practical examples, learners explore how pilots’ professional realities can shape these conversations and how to respond appropriately.

Management Consultation: Your Path to Readiness

Role expansion and upskilling

Part of a broader upskilling curriculum, this introductory lesson prepares experienced care professionals to take on management consultation responsibilities. It builds on their clinical expertise to introduce new workflows, consultation pathways, and practical tools for supporting managers with employee concerns.

About me

I build the kind of training people would rather do than skip: simulations of the real systems they work in, scenarios that test their judgment, and AI role plays where they can practice a hard conversation before it counts. After 7+ years, most recently at Spring Health and Abbott, I still start every project the same way: with the learner, and what they actually need to do.
