Samples of My Work
ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
I created this list of needs assessment questions for students in my Learning Design Fundamentals course. Questions are organized by audience, as well as by whether you are asking them before or after you’ve determined that training is an appropriate response to a request.

Analysis Report
Most of my needs assessment reports are presented to stakeholders verbally with minimal text. The attached represents a fictional written report.
infographic: great learning objectives
I created this infographic to describe the components of an effective learning objective, and what sets a learning objective apart from a learning outcome.
Design Document
This is the design document I use in my consulting work and that is the focus of the Capstone course that I created for NYU’s Learning Design certificate program. Shared with permission of NYU SPS.
Development Checklist
This checklist is meant to help trainers avoid some common errors made when developing learning assets. It incorporates concepts from the fields of graphic design, art theory, and information mapping, as well as Meyer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning and Ruth Colvin Clark’s Evidence-Based Training Methods. This list is in no way comprehensive, but provides some best practices for the production of training materials.
Curated Site
Created in collaboration with the Academic Technology & Innovation team at UMD, this site brings together tip sheets, videos, interactive exercises, and articles to help employees successfully navigate a hybrid work environment. These are screen shots of the menu items included in each of the three modules, as well as of a compilation of images of employees across the campus discussing their own best practices.

Slides
These slides were developed and used for an ATD webinar to promote my book, Troubleshooting for Trainers. Shared with permission of ATD Press.
Sample Marketing Video
When launching a new customer service offering for staff of Columbia University Medical Center, I collaborated with the Communications team to create this one-minute video of senior organizational leaders promoting the new program. I then used this video as part of an overall marketing campaign that included road shows, emails, and manager meeting guides. Video shared with permission of CUIMC Communications.

Evaluation Report
