About Me
I’m Kimberlee, a learning and development professional, instructional designer, and facilitator who loves creating training that people actually want to attend.
I bring experience in workplace learning and education, with a focus on leadership and employee development. My work spans needs analysis, curriculum design, eLearning, and facilitation for employees and leaders across industries.
Based in Northern California, I’m interested in opportunities to build practical learning programs that support people and organizational goals.
How I Work
I start by understanding what people need to do differently, then build learning around relevant examples, meaningful practice, and tools they can use on the job. I collaborate with stakeholders and subject matter experts, use learner feedback and program data to guide improvements, and bring a facilitator’s perspective to every design.
