Hi! I'm Mila, a writer with a love for design and talent development. I have 7+ years of experience creating end-to-end training solutions in the education, fitness/wellness, and finance industries.
I began my career in learning & development in 2016 as a teacher trainer, facilitating new hire training sessions, providing on-the-job training, and creating ongoing professional development for other teachers.
As I transitioned into the online learning space, my first love of writing led me to focus on creating great content as the foundation for great instructional design.
I like to think big picture, ex. mapping out learning ecosystems! I consider myself a people developer and love creating environments where people can thrive professionally.
I also enjoy a good story whether I am reading one or writing one (or translating one)! When I am not working or reading, you'll usually find me singing karaoke.
I believe
learning should be career-long and company-wide, not confined to a classroom or a computer screen.
in defining with empathy to come up with ideas for effective learning solutions that matter to the learner.
that people learn through story and play.
instructional design should be data-driven, learner-centric, content-first, and medium-aware.
I feel that learning should always be learner-centered.
I think that design is just as much about how it works as how it looks.
I know that words matter and choose mine carefully.
