About Me

The Accidental Trainer

My journey into the world of Instructional Design and training began quite unexpectedly. Initially, I started my career in a different role within the company, where I quickly realized the importance of effective training and development. My natural inclination towards helping others learn and grow led me to take on informal training responsibilities, which gradually evolved into a more formal role.

Over the years, I have honed my skills through hands-on experience and continuous learning. I began by designing simple training materials and facilitating small group sessions. As my confidence and expertise grew, I took on more complex projects, including the development of comprehensive new hire programs and advanced training modules for experienced team members.

Today, as a Senior Instructional Designer, I am proud of the path I have taken and the impact I have made. My journey from an accidental trainer to a seasoned professional has been one of continuous learning and growth, and I am dedicated to helping others achieve their full potential.
