About

Where learning meets the work of patient care

I have spent six years designing and developing clinical and nursing education at Mayo Clinic. My work runs the full arc: figuring out what people need to learn, building the courses and the media that go with them, administering the learning platforms they live on, moving curricula between those platforms, and redesigning the processes and roles around them.

The part I care about most is the last step that often gets skipped: showing whether the training changed anything. Several of the projects below were judged by outcomes like retention, attendance and measured confidence, not just satisfaction scores.

I also make the media myself: animated microlearning in Vyond and Powtoon, narrated screen-capture tutorials, and edited clinical video in Kaltura and Adobe tools.

This site collects some of that work.

Selected work

Projects I have led, and what changed

Building and migrating a preceptor development curriculum

Mayo Clinic's Preceptor Role Development curriculum prepares nurses to orient and coach newly hired staff, in three levels. I developed all 17 Articulate Rise modules and led my team's migration of the curriculum from D2L Brightspace to SAP SuccessFactors, completed on schedule between September and December 2025, managing six subject matter experts against review deadlines. As part of the move, we switched to self-paced enrollment with flexible live-session scheduling, so nurses could complete it around their clinical schedules.

Learner ratings 82% Very good or excellent, 270 of 329 surveyed, 2026

Live session no-shows ~50%to10% Virtual sessions, 2026

Migration On schedule September to December 2025, 17 modules

A mentoring platform launch, and the reporting that kept it funded

Software purchases in healthcare education die at renewal, not at launch, because nobody built a way to show what the money bought. I built three of the onboarding modules, ran rollout communications, served as point of contact for mentors and mentees after launch, and created the process for pulling and presenting platform data on program growth and connections across sites.

Residency track retention 95% Against a 90% enterprise goal

Career track retention 94% Against a 90% enterprise goal

Funding Renewed My reporting went into the leadership presentation

Proving a simulation course actually changed something

Simulation is expensive: faculty time, space, equipment, clinical staff pulled off the floor. Most simulation programs are evaluated with a satisfaction survey, which tells you whether people enjoyed the day and nothing about whether it worked. I designed an advanced preceptor simulation course from concept through delivery and built the measurement into the design rather than bolting it on afterward.

Self efficacy and role enjoyment p < .001 Statistically significant gains, pre and post

Participants 37 RNs 100% participant satisfaction

When the course is fine and the process around it is broken

A clinical management course with capacity for eight to nine was averaging five. The content was not the problem. Enrollment, scheduling and communication were. In two months I rebuilt the enrollment process, fixed the scheduling grid, reassigned points of contact and rewrote the instruction guide so the fix would hold.

Average attendance 5to8 Learners per session, following year

Capacity used HalftoNear full Same content, rebuilt process

Project library

More of what I have built

Mayo Clinic education content is proprietary, so these projects are described rather than linked.

Preceptor curriculum companion videos. Narrated screen-capture walkthroughs, role introductions, a Vyond animation on questioning techniques, and testimonial videos from intensive care and surgical services.
Articulate Rise course library. Courses in preceptor development for nursing and allied health, nursing competency, stroke education, fall prevention, electrosurgical safety, cardiovascular care, and quality.
Patient safety microlearning. A three-part Vyond series on pressure injury prevention and wound recognition, plus short videos on fall risk assessment and chair alarms. Most run under seven minutes.
Clinical and simulation video. Procedural, equipment, simulation debriefing, and mentorship videos, from a 1-minute ultrasound tutorial to a 33-minute pediatric airway session.
Kahuna instructional series. A nine-part screen-capture series teaching an orientation and competency platform, one task per module.
