I develop learning solutions across all lines of service to meet business needs. Part of this includes finding the correct modality for delivery, which may include a blended learning approach. Some of the tools available to create digital learning include Storyline, Gomo, Captivate, GoAnimate, iPDF, simulations using BranchTrack and Quick Reference Cards. Responsive design is used to meet the needs of learners as we continue to write and adapt learning for an online audience.

I managed and developed training programs customized for targeted audiences. Specifically, I was the lead designer for an Enterprise Sales Program which took 15 of the top sales representatives in the company and trained them on every product offered to sell to target accounts. Also, I worked with my team to develop and design a nine month Service Development Program focusing on skills, knowledge, and behaviors needed to provide excellent customer service. I was the lead designer on a Diversity and Inclusion Program to be implemented company-wide. This program was a three-phased approach that addressed employee development needs, specific situations within a location, and provided ongoing opportunities for leading by example.
