Research existing resources, industry practices, and emerging technologies to improve learning solutions. Leverage AI and modern learning technologies where they can improve efficiency and effectiveness. Manage multiple projects, stakeholders, and deadlines while maintaining consistent communication. Help establish instructional design processes, templates, standards, and best practices within a growing learning function.
