Sometimes people need a course or a training program to get their jobs done—but not always. In some situations, a printed job aid or a set of well-designed error messages is the best (and most cost-effective) solution.No matter which approach is best for your needs, I can help you implement it. And if you don’t know which approach you need, I can help you figure that out.As a seasoned professional in instructional design and content solutions, I offer over two decades of experience in technical and corporate communications, education, and project management.I’m dedicated to driving continuous improvement and positive change through inquiry and education. I believe in first thoroughly investigating what people need to accomplish in order to achieve their goals, then designing activities and learning materials that best support both the topic and the learner’s needs.Most recently, I served as a Global Content Solutions Analyst at Mars, Incorporated, where I elevated the quality and professionalism of SME-generated knowledge articles by applying my mastery of technical and instructional writing best practices. I reviewed and revised over 2,000 articles in nine months. My role involved not only clarifying the content and making it more accessible, but also guiding SME authors through the publication workflow and ensuring that our knowledge base was comprehensive and current.Previously, I founded Hanlon Ormond Consulting, where I empowered independent course creators with insights on course design, marketing strategies, and community building. That work sprang from my tenure at Pearson, where my work as an Instructional Designer honed my ability to craft compelling presentations and activities in online courses tailored to diverse learner needs. While in that role, I managed creating and revising eight to twelve courses simultaneously, every term, for a total of six different institutions in five different LMSes.
