Welcome & Introductions

Hello everyone! My name is Samantha Braun, and I’m based in St. Paul, MN, where I work as a Learning Design Specialist at Allina Health. I bring a 16-year background in nursing, with experience both at the bedside and in formal education. I joined my organization's Learning and Development department in 2021, and in my current role I design and develop a broad range of learning experiences for both clinical and non-clinical roles.

I joined this cohort because I’m really interested in sharpening how I use AI in my day-to-day work, particularly when building in Articulate. I already use Articulate’s AI tools, but I know there’s more potential there. I’m hoping to learn how to design and develop faster and more intentionally, so I can free up time for the creative thinking, troubleshooting, and relationship-building that I enjoy most and that ultimately leads to better learning experiences.

Here's Clementine, my trusty office companion.
