Welcome to A Sample of My Work

Because most of my client projects are protected under NDA, I’ve recreated a few of them here as simulated case studies, each one illustrating how I bring strategy, science, and storytelling together to transform learning.

Each case reflects my real-world process:

  • Identifying performance gaps through data and dialogue

  • Designing with neuroscience in mind to optimize focus, memory, and motivation

  • Developing interactive eLearning experiences (using tools like Storyline) that connect emotionally and drive measurable results

These are short course samples, not full trainings, designed to highlight what I call my value wedge: the unique blend of neuroscience-aligned design, instructional strategy, and human-centered innovation that drives measurable results.

You’ll also find infographics I’ve created for my blog, where I share full articles that expand on the neuroscience behind learning and performance.

Construction Safety Training

What I Created:
A neuroscience-aligned eLearning course built in Articulate Storyline to help construction crews recognize hazards, use PPE correctly, and apply safe work practices.

Challenge:
Annual safety briefings weren’t changing behavior, leading to PPE lapses and preventable injuries.

Solution:
Designed interactive, scenario-based training with quick decisions, reflection prompts, and mobile access. Applied neuroscience to boost focus, memory, and confidence.

Outcome:
• Hundreds trained before site reopening
• PPE compliance and hazard reporting improved
• Safety incidents dropped next quarter

Hospital Orientation

What I Created:
An Articulate-Storyline-based, interactive onboarding course introducing hospital culture, communication, and safety protocols through realistic scenarios.

Challenge:
Traditional slides overwhelmed new hires and failed to build confidence.

Solution:
Developed a modular course using storytelling, micro-scenarios, and reflection to lower stress and enhance recall.

Outcome:
• Reduction in orientation time
• Higher confidence and accuracy in new hires
• Fewer procedural errors and smoother transitions

Emergency Medical Services Protocol Training

What I Created:
A neuroscience-informed, scenario-based eLearning course in Articulate Rise to help EMTs and Paramedics apply updated protocols with confidence and consistency.

Challenge:
Field audits revealed inconsistent application of procedures and confusion under pressure, affecting patient safety and compliance.

Solution:
Designed immersive, real-world scenarios to strengthen procedural memory, situational awareness, and confidence in high-stress environments.

Outcome:
• Improved accuracy in applying updates EMS protocols
• Increased procedural consistency and confidence across field personnel
• Positive learner feedback on realism, clarity, and relevance

Accreditation-Aligned Evaluation Training

What I Created:
A calibration-focused eLearning module developed for university supervisors to apply the Educator Readiness Rubric consistently.

Challenge:
Supervisors scored inconsistently, producing unreliable evaluation data.

Solution:
Built a neuroscience-informed Storyline course with real scoring examples, bias reflection, and feedback practice.

Outcome:
• Improved inter-rater reliability
• Stronger feedback alignment
• Standardized rubric training across programs
