About Me

Hello! I'm Megan, an Instructional Designer and Learning and Development professional with 4+ years of experience creating interactive learning materials using diverse technologies. I am passionate about empowering learners through innovative design and inclusive practices.
I bring a proven track record of increasing learner retention by 15% and producing materials for over 120+ learners. Backed by 7+ years of customer service experience, I'm dedicated to fostering relationships that boost client and learner satisfaction with notable achievements in optimizing engagement and completion rates.I'm skilled in e-learning software and needs analysis with expertise in research and technology. I have a passion for life-long learning and integrating evolving industry innovations.
One thing that sets me apart from others in my field is my unique design approach that constantly brings a new and fresh perspective to all projects. My design approach is rooted in empathy- I put myself in the learner’s shoes to understand their needs, challenges, and motivations. This helps me craft learning experiences that are engaging, accessible, and truly effective for them.
I am an adaptable communicator, learner, and designer. I enjoy taking intiative and being a leader to those around me. I encourage you to take a look at my portfolio and resume for further examples of what I already have and can accomplish.
