Kind Words

"I was first introduced to Melissa by a colleague helping us develop online eLearning resources for our network. We brought Melissa in to help us transform an existing educational resource into an online experience.

I really appreciated Melissa’s ability to adapt to a set of loosely defined goalposts that developed as the project progressed. This flexibility was balanced with her discipline for good design. She asked the right questions to create a solution that met the need and maintained a consistent approach throughout the delivery of the final product."

Paul Vermette

Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Compassion Network

"Melissa is a thoughtful and creative Instructional Designer. She takes the time to really understand the needs and challenges of clients and stakeholders. She works collaboratively to develop learning solutions that meet the goals of any group she works with.

Melissa has extensive experience in learning and design. Her experience comes through not only in the results she achieves but also in her consultative and supportive approach.

I look forward to working with Melissa again in the future!"

Nadine Ogborn

Director of the Centre for Learning and Program Excellence, Red River College

"We were looking for ways to improve the learning experience of our students and implement a more consistent format and structure for our online courses. From the project's beginning, Melissa could identify the gaps in our approach and guide us to where we wanted to go.

Ultimately, she worked with our team to develop a learning solution that our staff loves interacting with. Melissa enthusiastically tackled this project and inspired us with her passion for teaching and learning. We can’t wait for another opportunity to engage with her."
