I am a Training, Learning and Development professional with broad expertise in learning and curriculum design, program planning, evaluation, blended learning, facilitation, classroom and virtual instruction, project and change management. My professional experience spans:

• working as an Instructor and securing Work Integrated Learning placements for post-secondary students;

• planning and implementing events including signature galas, professional development workshops, and custom-made training programs within non-for-profit environment;

• facilitating Talent Development through effective skill-building, knowledge retention and transition within HR business sector;

• designing program curricula and delivering virtual and instructor led training sessions to ensure job readiness as a Facilitator/Employment Counsellor.

Using the skills and knowledge I've gained over the last decade, driven by my curiosity to learn and passion in educating others, my goal is to help organizations create and facilitate top-notch learning initiatives.

• I author and source content, organize and communicate complex ideas in a clear and manageable format while designing blended, synchronous, asynchronous and e-learning engagements and facilitating individual or group sessions.

• I believe in learning by doing and incorporate Experiential Learning activities to create engaging learning experiences.

• I design learning and development activities in the form of simulations and self-reflection to motivate learners construct knowledge out of their experience and encourage ownership and responsibility for their own learning. (Constructivist Learning Theory)

• I embody problem-solving tasks to guide learners from simple to complex, help them gain independence and become confident completing more challenging tasks on their own. (Zone of proximal development theory)

• Encompassing learners’ multiple intelligences, learning styles and preferences, I incorporate a variety of activities and formats,  such as: instructor led and virtual instructor led sessions, e-learning, PowerPoint presentations, links to required and recommended readings, video/audio files, downloadable and printable PDF copies of course materials, job aids, samples and templates, discussion boards, etc. (H.
