I am an instructional designer with experience in every aspect of education and training. I began my career by completing Montessori teacher training and a Master of Education degree. My professional journey has encompassed roles in academic, corporate, and military settings with a focus on design based on demonstration of achieveable objectives.
My approach to design and development is grounded in learning science, informed by my experiences in a variety of settings. I create content that is meaningful to the learner while meeting the needs of the organization.
Accomplishments:
Built elearning program for allied health school from the ground up, serving as analyst, instructional designer, learning management system administrator, and instructor.
Led conversion of eight-week elearning and in-person course to full VILT delivery by working with over a dozen SMEs, stakeholders of all levels, and a team of ISDs.
Created style guides, development processes, templates, and job aids to ensure consistency and streamline instructional design.
Developed training program and materials and delivered training to faculty and administrators to increased adoption of learning management system among campus users.
Designed methods for tracking development process and progress, resulting in improved communication among design team and with stakeholders.

Educator, Writer, Producer
It was a pleasure to work with Pratima over the time I spent working at Pima Medical Institute. She did an amazing job with course creation and development in her role as the online education developer. Without her, the online department would not have been as successful as it was.
Donald Smith
Former Program Director
Pratima possesses a wide scope of knowledge and skills related to online education, including online instruction, instructional design for online courses, working with subjects matter experts and multimedia designers, and project management for online program development. She is detail-oriented, yet can wear many hats at once. She would be an asset to anyone seeking versatility in an employee.
