About Me

Hi, I’m Melissa.

It’s nice to meet you! I imagine that you might be a little busy. No worries, I’ll keep my introduction brief.

I guess you could say that I’m used to wearing many hats. I’ve grown into somewhat of a unicorn because I can design, build, and evaluate a training program or standalone course with equal skill. I credit this to my Master’s degree in Education and extensive background in adult education, curriculum design, and course delivery.

My design thinking and collaboration skills are sharp, but I think I can refine them like most things. You can learn more about how I use them to create engaging learner-centred experiences by checking out my Services page.

Because I know we share a deep commitment and passion for lifelong learning, I’m excited to get to know you better. I’m also looking forward to working with you and your team to co-create learning solutions that can genuinely change people’s lives.

About You

You’re a Learning & Development Expert.

Throughout the years, you’ve realized just how vital employee growth and professional development are to the success and productivity of your organization. You also acknowledge that your achievements connect to helping others achieve their goals.

But lately, you’ve found yourself struggling to find the time to keep up with budgeting, scheduling and promoting training in your organization. You need help designing the next employee training program or compliance course. You would also appreciate some guidance on aligning your organization’s training with the outcomes it needs to cultivate a pool of empowered learners who are adaptive to change.

If you’re still here, you might be interested in learning more about me and the services I can offer you and your team. Just think about the exciting ways we’ll be able to fuse our creativity and passion for learning to bring your most radical vision of training and development to life.
