Proficient in Articulate Storyline, Rise, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, and accessibility-compliant design (AODA), I leverage multimedia tools and AI-driven resources to enhance teaching, learning, and faculty development.

I collaborate closely with faculty, SMEs, and stakeholders to deliver programs that are practical, innovative, and aligned with organizational goals.
