Projects that speak volumes

Curriculum Development, System Validation, and Human Optimization Program Rollout: As the lead designer and developer of the Warrior Toughness curriculum, I translated complex scientific methodologies—including performance psychology, stress inoculation, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and organizational leadership—into an engaging, high-impact instructional framework. The project required synthesizing high-volume, multidisciplinary concepts while continuously refining the program through a rolling pilot, rigorous validation, and strict quality-control processes. To meet these demands, I mapped and refined three core duties and their associated tasks, aligning individual lessons, scripts, and practical evolutions into a cohesive learning experience. I also authored and designed the complete student guide, which served as the course’s primary practical workbook. To validate the curriculum, I produced a post-pilot monitoring report evaluating schedule integrity, curriculum-validation outcomes, and the safety and security framework designed to help students manage operational stress safely.

Formative Evaluation & Course Revision: Led a comprehensive formative evaluation of a new fleet-wide resilience and performance skills course. Designed and executed a multifaceted data-collection strategy—including surveys, interviews, and pre-/post-tests—during a controlled field test. Analyzed the results and delivered a Post-Formative Evaluation Report with data-driven recommendations, resulting in a fully vetted, enhanced course approved for full-scale launch.

Curriculum and Training Modernization: Developed and executed a strategic Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) to address dozens of instructional deficiencies identified during Formal Course Reviews for two U.S. Navy accession pipeline schools. Key initiatives included realigning core instructional design documents, developing a Master Instructor Guide, establishing a formal Core Unique Instructor Training (CUIT) program, and redesigning the testing and evaluation program to restore instructional integrity.
