"Krista was hired as a Senior Instructional Designer for our province-wide Nursing Program Transformation Initiative project. The project involved all 24 public colleges in Ontario and we were developing three nursing bridges/pathways consisting of over two dozen courses in English and French. With our expected timelines and deliverables, we needed someone who could hit the ground running at the very start of their contract. Krista met and exceeded this challenge for our team. She brought a wealth of technical and curriculum development skills, and applied her expert knowledge of instructional design to develop several high-quality online asynchronous courses in D2L for us. Krista was able to advise us on the best ways forward when we faced challenges, and she was able to train and rally others to help us build a high-functioning team. Krista was also responsible for developing a unique resource in Pressbook for Internationally Educated Nurses to support language proficiency and supported accessibility, multimedia, copyright, proofreading, and much more. She a multi-skilled professional who can meet a multitude of needs on any project."

"Krista was a pleasure to work with! She was responsive, creative, and adaptable. She was able to adjust her deliverables based on our needs throughout the process of developing 7 asynchronous learning modules. She acted both as an Instructional Designer and a Subject Matter Expert. She was transparent about timelines and her needs/requirements to get the work done. Additionally, she was fun! She clearly enjoys the work she does and brought her humour with her as we worked through various hiccups or challenges. I look forward to working with Krista again in the future!"

"Krista worked with me as part of the Ontario-famous, award-winning Cambrian College Teaching and Learning Hub Team 2021-22 and was immediately a fantastic addition to a high-functioning group. She is a passionate advocate for high-quality adult and digital teaching and learning experiences and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work. She is an expert support and guide for subject matter experts and organizations that need to create great learning experiences. She is fully bilingual which is a strong advantage when creating materials for diverse audiences. She has PreK-12, post-secondary, and corporate training and development experience and expertise which contributes to her skill and practice aligning the right design with the needs of learners. Krista has my highest recommendation as a professional instructional designer whatever the need may be!"
