Led agile transformation for an L&D team within a Fortune 500 healthcare company, reducing out-of-scope work by 86%. Now building AI-powered learning solutions for Houston’s energy, healthcare, and tech sectors.
See My Work ↓Most L&D consultants are still building courses in Storyline and Rise. I build AI-powered learning systems that adapt, engage, and scale. Here’s the difference:
I work with growing companies that need to scale their L&D operations without adding headcount or sacrificing quality. Whether you’re struggling with chaotic intake, low training engagement, or outdated tools — here’s what I build. From Fortune 500 L&D teams to small businesses building their first onboarding system — I design solutions that fit where you are.
Agile coaching, intake redesign, workflow optimization. Turn chaotic L&D teams into high-performing machines with predictable delivery and sustainable pace.
Custom conversational coaches, adaptive learning paths, personalized training experiences that replace cookie-cutter LMS courses. Built from scratch, not templates.
Intake systems, capacity planning dashboards, project tracking infrastructure — the operational backbone that makes L&D scalable and measurable.
Job aids, eLearning courses, animated videos, and process documentation — a curated collection of instructional design work across healthcare, energy, and operations.

Kara has led our team in transitioning to agile methodologies, resulting in remarkable improvements in productivity and outcomes. Her leadership has redefined and optimized our process flows, creating a more efficient and positive team culture.
Kara is truly the definition of efficiency, organization, and autonomy. Her ability to balance structure with flexibility, all while fostering a culture of kind and supportive partnership, has made a lasting impact. If every team had a Kara, things would run effortlessly.
Most L&D consultants fall into two camps: traditional instructional designers who know learning theory but are stuck using outdated tools like Storyline and Rise, or developers and AI enthusiasts who can build cool tech but don’t understand instructional design, compliance requirements, or how L&D actually operates in organizations.
I’m the rare combination: L&D operations expertise + proven results + AI development capability.
As a Certified Scrum Master, I transformed how one instructional design team at Optum operated — reducing chaos, improving morale, and delivering measurable business impact. Now I’m applying that same operational thinking to build AI-powered learning solutions that didn’t exist two years ago.
I don’t just recommend tools. I build them. I don’t just design processes. I lead teams through them. And I don’t wait for the market to catch up — I’m building the future of L&D right now.
Whether you’re struggling with chaotic intake processes, looking to build AI-enhanced training, or just want to explore what’s possible — let’s have a conversation.
