Learning & Development in R&D — Organon

I'm a Senior Specialist in Learning and Development at Organon, where I build learning for R&D and regulatory teams: self-paced journeys that teach regulatory frameworks, an AI guide for regulated documentation work, and interactive multimedia modules designed to be finished — not just assigned. The work below is real and live; one piece is a design study, and it's labeled as one.

How I work

Good learning in a regulated environment starts with a training-needs analysis, not a course catalog. I work with stakeholders to find the actual gap, ground the design in adult learning theory, and build content people choose to finish — then I pay attention to whether it worked. Voluntary completion is the metric I trust most: if people didn't have to take it and did anyway, the learning earned its place.
