Naomi is highly skilled, competent, and truly a pleasure to work with. Naomi is often my point person at Nord Anglia when I am communicating from MIT and sending MIT deliverables to Nord Anglia. When Naomi is on a project, I know it will be completed on time, be extremely clear and organized, and delivered with a high level of professionalism.
​
We've worked together on many projects, from the highly complex organization needed for our group at MIT to host large international student groups, to consistent monthly deliverables that are shared digitally across 86 schools in 35+ countries. She's an excellent project manager, from high-level concept work to finely detailed deliverables. I highly recommend Naomi as a colleague, contractor, and collaborator!
I highly endorse Naomi for her exceptional skills in instructional design and e-learning development. She has a remarkable ability to create engaging, effective, and learner-centred digital experiences that drive meaningful learning outcomes. Her expertise in curriculum development and training design ensures that her programs are well-structured, interactive, and impactful.
​
In addition to her strengths in instructional design, Naomi is also highly skilled in project management, training development, and wellbeing, bringing a well-rounded approach to learning and development. Any organisation would be fortunate to have her expertise in shaping transformative learning experiences.
