I’m a Learning and Development Professional with 5+ years of experience creating impactful learning experiences across corporate, nonprofit, education, and behavioral health sectors. I specialize in needs-based instructional design, custom eLearning development, and workshop facilitation rooted in adult learning principles and cultural competence.
I hold a B.S. in Human Capital Development, am completing an M.A. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and am certified in SHRM-CP, CPTP, CPHR®, CCBP®, CLDP®, and hold a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt.
I’m proficient with tools like Articulate Storyline, Vyond, Canva, and We Are, and have designed full-scale eLearning solutions and ILT programs that drive measurable outcomes.
Some of my notable projects include:
Design, development, and implementation of a conflict resolution eLearning + ILT solution for a volunteer organization, resulting in effective conflict resolution among volunteers 90% of the time
Design, development, and facilitation of a comprehensive Train-the-Trainer program for behavioral health outreach staff, resulting in a 51.7% increase from pre-test to post-test scores (statistically significant difference)
Transformation, design, and development of instructional presentations for a behavioral health institution using adult learning and instructional design principles, resulting in a consistent average Level 1 Evaluation rating of 90-100% on all QA measures for all developed presentations when delivered
Design and development of instructional materials, workbooks, and assessments (and LMS management) for Australia’s vocational education and training sector, mapped 100% to units of competency, including elements and performance criteria, foundational skills, performance evidence, knowledge evidence, and assessment conditions

Responsibilities: Needs Analysis, Instructional Design, Video Development, eLearning Development
Tools used in Development: Articulate Storyline, Vyond
Time in Development: 3 months
Client: Rotaract Club of Saipan
Executive Summary: Worked with the client organization to conduct a needs analysis, design, develop, and implement an eLearning solution to address KSA gaps in conflict resolution and communication within a project management context
Challenge: The results of the root cause analysis revealed knowledge, skill, and attitude gaps in conflict resolution, including communication, particularly within the context of planning and implementing community service projects / project management. Membership engagement and retention are low because Rotaract Club of Saipan members (Learners) are unable to effectively resolve conflict and communicate leading to unhealthy work environments and “factions”, which drive members away from attending and participating in Rotaract meetings, events, and activities.
Solution: A 30-minute eLearning course that covers Thomas-Kilmann’s Conflict Resolution models, common sources of conflict, and a recommended conflict resolution process for Rotaract Club of Saipan members (Learners) to utilize for conflict resolution within a project management context.
Results: After completing the course, learners were able to identify, address, and resolve interpersonal and project-related conflicts through effective communication 90% of the time, leading to a more harmonious and productive volunteer environment.

Tool used in development: We Are
IDOL Courses Academy partnered with We Are for the We Are Learning Design Challenge. Participants in the Academy were challenged to transform a problem scenario from our eLearning course into an engaging, interactive learning moment. The goal was to create a standalone learning experience that reinforces a key concept in an immersive way.
Result: Winning entry for the We Are Learning Design Challenge
Feedback: "Philip’s submission stood out for its interactive scenario, thoughtful animation, and engaging design, which encouraged learner interaction, reflection, and provided tailored feedback based on responses. His work exemplifies how We Are can bring problem scenarios to life in an immersive and impactful way."
