How can I best engage learners? How can I design instructional materials that accelerate learning and optimize retention?

These questions guide my work as an instructional designer. Earlier in my career, they were a focal point as I strategically designed learning activities and developed curriculum in a higher education setting. And now they continue to inspire me as I design impactful learning solutions focused on workplace skills.
