What I do

  • Scenario-based learning

    Learners practice the decision, not just the content.

  • Onboarding and competency programs

    Sequenced 30-day pathways with skills checklists and remediation supervisors can support.

  • AI-assisted course development

    Practical AI workflows for charting, handoffs, teaching, and study, built with safety rules in.

  • Accessible and inclusive design

    WCAG-informed, captioned, plain-language learning with diverse imagery.

Featured projects

Three projects that show range: a full onboarding curriculum, an independent digital product, and an instructor-led curriculum.

Project 1 · Client-style curriculum

17-course healthcare onboarding & competency program

A sequenced 30-day onboarding pathway built in Articulate Rise 360, with scenario-based instruction, captioned videos, and knowledge checks. Three sample courses:

These learning experiences demonstrate an accessibility-conscious approach to instructional design, incorporating structured learning content and supplementary text-based resources. Accessibility evaluation and continuous improvement are integral to the development process.

Samples contain no patient or employee information.

Case study

17-course healthcare onboarding & competency program

Challenge
A healthcare organization needed more consistent employee onboarding and documentation training. Complex clinical, safety, privacy, and operational requirements had to become learning employees could complete and supervisors could support.
My role
Designed and developed the program: needs assessment and gap analysis with stakeholder input, learning objectives, storyboarding, Rise 360 development, media, assessments, and review.
Solution
A 17-course Articulate Rise 360 curriculum organized into a sequenced 30-day onboarding pathway, using scenario-based instruction, original training videos with captions, and knowledge checks.
Deliverables
17 web-published courses and SCORM 1.2 packages, competency evaluations, skills checklists, remediation resources, and supervisor support materials.

Tools: Articulate Rise 360, SCORM 1.2, Canva, HeyGen, Microsoft PowerPoint, AI-enabled content tools.

Instructional design process

A five-stage framework aligned with the ADDIE model, shown through the De-escalation Essentials module.

  1. 01

    Analyze

    Found the gap: new team members could recognize escalation but were unsure what to do in the first minute, how to set a safety boundary, and what to do after an incident.

  2. 02

    Design

    Chose scenario-first instruction: learners meet a realistic situation before the CALM framework, so the framework answers a problem they have already felt.

  3. 03

    Develop

    Built the module in Rise 360 with a captioned welcome video, scenario steps, and a situational knowledge check.

  4. 04

    Implement

    Placed the module in a sequenced 30-day onboarding pathway for new frontline team members.

  5. 05

    Evaluate

    Knowledge check tests choosing the right response in a situation, not recall. Planned improvement: branching feedback so learners see how a less effective choice increases tension and can try again.

About

I'm a licensed practical nurse and healthcare administrator who moved from educating patients, families, and staff into instructional design. I turn clinical, regulatory, and safety content into structured, scenario-based learning grounded in adult learning principles.

I bring 20+ years of clinical nursing experience, a Master of Healthcare Administration, and doctoral studies in Educational Leadership to healthcare curriculum and competency development, Articulate 360 course development, stakeholder collaboration and needs assessment, and AI-assisted instructional development — skills that transfer to healthcare, corporate L&D, curriculum design, and workforce training.

Accessibility & Inclusive Learning Design

My instructional design approach emphasizes accessible, inclusive learning experiences that support diverse learner needs.
