• Partner closely with SMEs and business stakeholders to understand performance needs, clarify priorities, and design learning solutions that support effective adoption and on‑the‑job application.

• Proficiency with learning and design tools such as Articulate Storyline, Adobe Creative Suite, and Canva.
