Keys to Margie's Passion

Who am I?

Professionally: 

• I am a Certified Professional in Training and Performance (CPTP) with 20+ years of experience in the life sciences/pharmaceuticals, IT,  and education industries. 

• My expertise includes instructional design, eLearning development, curriculum/content development, SaaS, and teaching/training. 

• I am recognized for curating complex content into engaging compliance and technical training that meets business objectives, reduces regulatory risk, increases proficiency, and provides real-life application. 

• I lead with integrity and through a coaching style that fosters collaboration and motivates a growth and 'tech-forward' mindset for increased efficiency.

Personally: I have been married many years to my college sweetheart, and I am a mother to 3 young adults.

What do I do? What are my interests?

Professionally: 

• I am currently a Senior Instructional Designer at LHT Learning, which was recently acquired by Tier 1 Performance. Previously, I worked at Red Nucleus as an Instructional Designer in its training institute division (RNTI), designing on-demand GxP eLearning courses.

• I design learning solutions for the life sciences, biotech, healthcare, and technology industries by collaborating with other instructional designers, medical writers, project managers, subject matter experts, graphic designers, editors, and strategists. 

Personally: I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, hiking/walking, biking, skiing, reading, and watching movies.  I enjoy the beach, but I prefer the mountains! I also enjoy listening to music, singing, and playing my flute in a small ensemble, singing in a community choir, and serving those in need in my community. I am known for being creative with Canva and Amazon Photos, designing cards, posters, photo books/calendars, and flyers!

Where am I going? What are my goals?

Professionally: 

• My goal is to continue designing and developing learning solutions for the life sciences, healthcare, biotech/medical devices, and technology industries, but I am open to other opportunities as well. 

• I invest in lifelong learning through continual professional development, exploring and experimenting with technologies and tools (e.g., authoring tools and tips, AI, AR, VR, microlearning, video, gamification elements, etc.), and taking advantage of webinars, conferences, and literature to stay current with learning trends. 

Personally: Life is short, and unlocking my heart to my personal passions is important, too. As a result, my goal is to improve my work-life balance, take more time to enjoy my family, engage in activities that I enjoy, and cherish the simple things in life.
