Work Samples

Performance Coaching Framework – This is a performance coaching framework I designed and operationalized to improve execution, communication, and throughput within a global training organization; delivered measurable improvements in leader capability, performance consistency, and business outcomes. All data has been fictionalized for security reasons.
Video demo reel – This demo reel shows some samples of videos I produced for IHOP and YouTube (more video samples available upon request).
Example of microlearning course – This is a video walkthrough microlearning course that I developed for YouTube (with all of the proprietary information removed). Video produced in Camtasia.
Live gamified eLearning course  – This is a fun course that you can take! It was created in Articulate Storyline 360 and is a good example of a gamified learning, teaching you how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (difficulty=impossible). The entire course was custom built by me, including interactions, just in time feedback, progress tracking, and animations.

Made for Kids Viewer-Facing Launch Storyboard –This is a storyboard that I designed for a recent YouTube training regarding the Made for Kids policy changes. This course was a high-profile mandatory company-wide training which was a result of the YouTube lawsuit regarding marketing content to children. You’ll notice there is quite a bit I couldn’t share in this storyboard as it’s proprietary. Sorry about that!

PFT Data Scoring and Reporting Script – This was a web-based training script that I wrote for the California Department of Education for a statewide K-12 Physical Fitness Test. I developed the course in Articulate, recorded the VO, and produced the screencasts.

Introduction to Blocking Tasks – This is a sample storyboard for a technical IT course on blocking tasks for ServiceNow. All proprietary information has been removed. I recommend viewing it in PowerPoint’s presentation mode.
