About Dara W.
I am a learning and development professional skilled in creating and delivering dynamic, engaging learning experiences for end users. I am skilled in learning creation (e-learning and live/in person), training facilitation and delivery, coaching, teaching, budgeting, operations, program management, event management, and execution of logistics. My goal is to create fun, productive learning opportunities for others, helping them maximize their potential. In my professional career I have facilitated learning via various learning management systems (Absorb, Learning Pool, Smarter U) using expertise in multiple online course creation tools (Articulate Storyline 360/Rise 360, Adobe Captivate). I am also a skilled user of Microsoft Office Tools (Word, Power Point, Excel, Business Intelligence, Forms, Teams, Sharepoint, Onedrive) and customer relationship software (Salesforce Nonprofit Success Package, Personify). In my current role, I use the ADDIE method to design computer-based training for our client in the Federal Government. I also utilize Adobe Robohelp to create Technical Documentation for end users. The larger software development team in my current role is AGILE and Kanban. I thrive on "owning my part" while working within a larger team. I have strong time-management and communication skills. As a project manager, I prioritize managing multiple deliverables with shifting timeframes. My detail-oriented nature, coupled with a strong work ethic, is an asset to any team. I am currently working as a training specialist and am always open to new professional opportunities.
