"I believe that being a well-rounded instructional designer will help me to become successful in this role. In college, I majored in human resource management, where I took training and development classes. That's how I discovered my passion for this field. So, I planned my internship around it and applied at Pearson in their Content Strategy team. I realized that being naturally creative really gives me an edge. When I graduated, I immediately applied for a job as a training assistant. I took some online classes to further develop my talent in content writing and my graphic design skills. After being a training specialist at a large organization for three years, I believe that I've really sharpened my people skills, and it's given me the experience to facilitate training. It has also given me the opportunity to work with data, therefore honing my analytical skills."
