Welcome & Introductions

Hi all,

I live in Daytona Beach, Florida. I am a trainer for the Florida Department of Revenue.  I work on tutorials and job aids for both internal and external customers. I have been using Storyline for about 8 years and am excited to learn more about AI and how it works.

I don't have a photo that can be uploaded, but we have a blue merle Australian Sheppard named Sadie. She started out as our grandpuppy, but when our son-in-law was transferred to a new location in the Marines we took her in since she is highly OCD and does not do well with change. We are pretty sure she is ours now lol.  But we love her to death.

Hello!

I'm Teresa Scanlon, an Instructional Designer at USAA based in New York State. I joined this cohort to deepen my skills with Articulate’s AI-powered tools, and I’m excited to use what I learn to create more effective and efficient learning experiences.

And as a bonus—here’s a photo of my 15‑year‑old rescue pup, Patrick!

My name is MJ Jones, and I work as an Instructional Designer at USAA. My day-to-day involves designing and developing learning experiences for our employees. I joined this Articulate AI Assistant Certification cohort because I'd like to explore how new tools and features can enhance learning engagement. I'm particularly interested in leveraging AI to not only improve the effectiveness of our training but also to increase development speed. I'm hoping to gain practical skills and insights that I can directly apply to my role. 

Hi everyone! I’m Mery Lopez–van der Biest. I’m based in Calgary, Canada, but originally from Venezuela. I work for an oil and gas company that supports operations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. My official title is Trainer Developer, though in my day-to-day work I really see myself as an eLearning specialist, designing and building learning experiences that actually work for people.

I joined this Certification Cohort after a great invitation from our leader, and I’m excited to learn, reconnect with what’s happening in Storyline, and sharpen my skills along the way. On a more personal note, we have a collective dog named Nico—I pet-sit him on Fridays and sometimes on weekends, proudly keeping up the family tradition of naming our dogs after dictators. Looking forward to learning with all of you! 🐶

Hi Everyone! Happy to be here. I'm a Learning Experience Designer in San Diego currently working at FINRA (financial regulator). Prior to this position, I worked in many industries! I have been using Articulate since around 2012.

I'm always excited to learn more about the finer points of Rise and Storyline, and I love discovering new features and updates that I'm not yet familiar with. I'm looking forward to practicing and seeing some really inspiring examples! 

This is Moo :)

Hi everyone! I'm Judy Considine, an Instructional Designer at GM Warren, Michigan. It is great to be joining my team members and meeting new ISD in this Articulate / AI Cohort.  

Hi everyone! I'm Meghan, a new instructional designer with Commercial Lines at Progressive! I I live in Cleveland, OH, but I work remotely. I've spent the first few months of my role learning Rise and Storyline, and I'm so excited to add AI skills to the mix!

Hi all! I'm Ryan Duran and I am looking forward to this AI certification cohort to learn more on effectively using the AI Assistant within Articulate to help with course development efficiency. I am located in the Phoenix Arizona area and currently serve as a Lead Instructional Designer at CDW. Primarily my work revolves around learning strategy, content design, and development focused on sales enablement training initiatives across our organization. Nice to meet each of you and go through this cohort together. 

Hi Everyone! I’m drawn to the space where ideas become execution. Strategy is exciting. Building is better. I care about clarity, momentum, and learning that actually changes behavior.

I’m here to explore how AI can sharpen thinking, speed up iteration, and help turn good concepts into practical results.

Hello All,

I am Cheryl Weiner and am located in Beaverton, OR.  I am a Sr. Sourcing Manager and I look forward to creating some great trainings for our internal customers.  Below is a birthday picture of my puppy Kobe.
