I also bring more than fifteen years of expertise in higher education, instructional design, and curriculum development.

I excel at collaborating with business leaders and stakeholders to create high-quality interactive designs that align with business goals.

Managing and directing creative talent, utilizing stock media effectively, and overseeing the production of multimedia content are among my strengths.
