Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Leslie Clifton, and I'm based in Colorado. I work as a Senior Learning Experience Designer in the insurance and financial services industry. While my title sounds fancy, my day-to-day work is really about helping people learn and perform better on the job. I design learning experiences, build eLearning courses, create job aids and facilitator materials, partner with subject matter experts, and help translate complex business processes into practical, learner-friendly training solutions.

I joined this AI Assistant Certification Cohort because AI is rapidly changing how we work, create, and solve problems. I'm excited to learn more about how AI assistants can enhance productivity, support learning and development, improve content creation, and help teams work more efficiently. I'm hoping to come away with practical skills, new ideas, and a network of people who are exploring many of the same opportunities and challenges.

Bonus: I'm a pet lover, here's a picture of my cutie Bentley.
