About Me

I am an enthusiastic instructional developer based in Australia, with a rich experience of over 25 years in training delivery & content development.

I design professional & functional training

With years of experience in food industry compliance instructional design and development, I have mastered the skills of understanding client requirements according to the latest trends. I have worked with small businesses through to global thought-leaders, so you can rely on me for yours.

I’ve spent most of the past 25 years working across different areas of training including face-to-face delivery, agile course content conversion and e-Learning development. My own training business is accredited to the ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard for Continuing Education and Training so I personally implement adult learning principles and leverage the latest tools in engagement.

Having worked on various projects over the years and I can help you with the best possible suggestions and ideas that we can proceed with. With me, you aren’t forced to accept anything. I give you a variety of options we can work on together.
