Welcome & Introductions

Hey all! I am Andy Barnts, Training Capability Leader at Koch Fertilizer in Beatrice Nebraska. My current day involves a lot of procedure writing and redlines along with tracking training needs and completions. My role will be moving more into training innovation and finding new ways to learn to meet the new generation of employees where they are in the world of tech.

I have joined this community to learn more about Articulate as a while but particularly what can the AI do for me in building training content. Shared is a photo of our two guard dogs, Nahla and Ryder. 

Hi everyone! I'm Donielle Bell. I am an instructional designer at Georgia-Pacific. I support our CPG retail sales group. My day to day responsibilities involve creating content to support this group (eLearning, videos, AI agents, etc.). My primary Articulate tool is Storyline. 

I joined the cohort because I want to know all things Articulate (since it is my primary development tool).

Hi everyone! I'm Hanna Carson. My fancy title at work is Sales Enablement Content Strategist, but more plainly, I'm the instructional designer for my team creating eLearnings and supporting with in-person content creation as well. 
I signed up for this cohort to learn more about the AI features on Articulate and learn some new uses for the tools from the experts. :)
These are my fur babies - a 3 pound Holland Lop dwarf bunny named Leo (Leonidas) and a 120 pound Bernese Mountain dog named Chewy (Chewbacca)!

Hi everyone! My name is Schawn Penn-Lee, and I work at Big Island Mill as a Learning and Development Administrator. I manage production training at the mill and oversee our Learning Management Systems.

I joined this cohort to learn more about AI and Articulate and explore how AI can be incorporated into the development of our training modules. My goal is to make our learning experiences more user-friendly, engaging, and enjoyable.

Hi, everyone! I'm Cass with Molex, where I'm the product owner of our learning management system. I used Articulate Rise and Storyline more in previous roles, but I support numerous learning admins who use it regularly, so I try to keep up on offerings and trends.

I am based out of Chicagoland but I work remotely from the Twin Cities with Buddy the Shorkie (shih tzu/yorkie) by my side :)

Hello and happy Friday! My name is Tammie Fletchall, and I am an HR Data & Systems Analysts for Flint Hills Resources. I am a native Kansan, but last year we moved to Georgia. 

I am hoping to learn some tips and trick to assist me in completing my tasks efficiently and accurately, as well as keep current with the ever-changing world of AI and technology. My furry co-workers don't get much work done or help me stay on task. They play all morning and nap all afternoon. Diesel (left) likes chasing shadows and Athena (right) likes to lounge around on the front porch and chase squirrels. 

Hello! I am Kyle. I am a Training Specialist with FHR. My day-to-day consists of supporting our LMS for the Pipelines and Terminals group and developing content for our non-EHS Compliance systems. I also develop other content for a newsletter, our SharePoint sites, etc.

I've been dabbling with generating content with Gen AI for some time, so I'm hoping to learn some more "advanced" techniques with it. Maybe some workflows, how to obtain more consistent images (Character packs anybody?), or possible tips for how to leverage SME supplied content and using AI to build the slides exactly as provided without any additional "help" from the AI function.

We have several furry friends, but here are a couple of my favorites!

Hello! I’m Lintu, an Instructional Designer with GP‑IT in Bangalore, India. I’ve been working with Articulate since 2022 and love experimenting with Storyline to make e‑learning easy and fun. I don’t have any pets, but my little balcony garden keeps me happily busy. Super excited to be part of the AI Assistant certification cohort — can’t wait to learn from everyone!

Hello - I am Karen and I work for Molex ADS Division as our Training & Organizational Development Lead.  Our division is new to Molex, and I am new to LMS content creation.  We are iTAR and AS9100 certified, so our training needs are extensive, and compliance is at the forefront of all we do at ADS.  I have dabbled in Articulate for several months but with my training and integration workload, I have been unable to fully immerse myself and learn the programs inner workings and offerings.  This has become my Spring/Summer goal - dedicate more learning time to Articulate, so here I am :)  I am excited to jump into this course and hopefully learn some new tips and meet some new people to network with and learn alongside.  Having a network of support would be much appreciated, especially being new to Koch, this platform and its tools.

I have two dogs and three cats at home that keep me company when I work remote, however I also hybrid in-office - which is full of humans that require much more of my attention and are far more needy.

Hello everyone, Happy to be here!! My name is Cristi, I have worked for Molex for 26 years. I use Rise to build courses and excited to learn what I dont know. My babies, Raven- Pitty Nikita- Siberian Husky & Jasper Mix
