As a Learning Designer I have contributed to designing a wide-range of postgraduate learning experiences and writing course content for 2U's Executive Education portfolio. My greatest achievement in this role has been working as a Course Strategist with course conveners from one of the top university brands in Asia in designing a management course for digital leaders. This project has provided me with considerable responsibility in the collaborative and people liaison aspects of learning design. It has taught me the importance of capturing and maintaining the vision of external stakeholders while navigating the iterative stages of course design. Through this experience I have also developed my skills in working collaboratively with a diverse internal team of senior managers, lead learning designers, media strategists, content developers and editors in order to create engaging, pedagogically sound and seamless on-line learning experiences.

Lorient, Brittany, France

In my role as a university instructor and English language trainer at the University of Southern Brittany, I was responsible for conceptualising and designing relevant learning programs, and researching and developing content for a number of English for Specific and Academic Purposes courses. I was also responsible for lecturing and designing course content aimed at enhancing student knowledge of finance, marketing and the international business environment. My instructional approach drew primarily on student-centred, experiential and project-based learning models. Through authentic formative and summative assessment, which largely involved using role plays and simulations, my students were able to develop their language, communication, commercial, negotiation and business management skills. With subject matter expertise across the business, management, social sciences and humanities disciplines, my greatest accomplishment in this role was designing and delivering language courses which were highly relevant to the skills needs and professional success of students and which went beyond their language learning requirements. My students, who were studying professional Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in languages, international commerce and business development, particularly appreciated the challenging and rewarding learning experiences I provided in international sales, cross-cultural negotiation, strategic management and international business development.

Leicester, England, United Kingdom

In my role as a doctoral and post-doctoral researcher at De Montfort University, I was responsible for project managing a 4-year qualitative research enquiry investigating multinational enterprises, territorial governance and innovation networks from conception to publication. I also collaborated on an international research project investigating urban governance models. My PhD research, for which I received a scholarship in 2012 and a doctoral degree in 2016, is one of my proudest achievements. This experience taught me valuable skills in research design, academic project management, data collection and analysis, critical thinking and problem-solving. In this role I was responsible for drawing up a detailed research proposal, defining research objectives and stipulating and defending my choice of research methods. I was also responsible for setting measurable boundaries for the research and defending the proposed impact and benefits of the research for practitioners and academia. This experience also enabled me to develop project management skills such as; setting, and sticking to, a budget and time-frame, as well as, planning and organising interview schedules for the collection of data. It furthermore helped me to develop qualitative data analysis skills both manually and through the use of data analysis software. In this role and through the publication of a doctoral thesis, I was particularly able to enhance my writing, editing, proofreading, presentation and communication skills, particularly through writing up preliminary findings and presenting them at international conferences. My experience as a post-doctoral researcher, furthermore, gave me the opportunity to collaborate with researchers in an international research team, as well as, coordinate and lead the team’s field research in France, ensuring that project objectives were met within prescribed time-frames.
