About Samantha F.

I am a Senior Project Manager and Instructional Designer who builds learning systems that deliver real results. Over the past decade, I have led large-scale training projects, managed cross-functional teams, and delivered hundreds of learning assets across industries like healthcare, energy, agriculture, insurance, government, and education.I have been integrating artificial intelligence into my workflows to help teams work smarter. I use tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and closed language models to speed up content development, reduce SME fatigue, and support more agile design cycles. I also help teams understand the real-world impact of AI without the jargon. I aim to make AI practical, accessible, and aligned with actual business needs.I have worked on multiple projects, contributing to the design of dynamic AI-supported assessments in closed-model environments. I also support clients who want to introduce AI into their learning and development operations.My background in instructional design gives me a unique lens into how AI can improve not only content creation but also team workflows and systems thinking. If you are curious about how AI fits into your learning strategy or project operations, I would be happy to share what I have learned.Project management will always be at the core of my work, but I am energized by the direction of technology and how we can use it to make our work more effective and human.
