Make Yourself Known

Hello Everybody!  I'm Patti.  I work for an automotive manufacture and have been here for 25 years. Hard to believe it's been that long!  My role is creating, developing and deploying EHS and Quality training for our facility.  Since we are a small facility, this is not my only role so I was elated when I found Articulate 365.  It helped me take some of the guess work out of creating visually appealing and engaging training and focus on the content.  I try to find creative ways to structure the content so it applies to what they actually do and not broad generic content.  It can be challenging as we are a forging company and their isn't a lot of graphical content that applies to us. Articulate helped with that when AI was introduced, it's helped polish my plant photo's into something useful for the training. 

I am very grateful for all the experienced community members participating and proving valuable information for those of us who are not actual instructional designers but have been thrown into that role along with 5 other roles.🙃  I look forward to growing with you all and hopefully I'll be able to be a bit more active in the future.

Outside of work I enjoy taking motorcycle trips with my boyfriend, my goal is to hit all 50 states!  I'm at about 15 currently, a long way to go.  I also would not be complete without my little boy, Raider!  He is my 1st dog and will be turning 6 in a few weeks.  I never realized how raising and training a dog was like bringing up a child. 😝  He makes me laugh every day as he has his own goofy quirks and does not follow what the professionals say about his breed.

I have recently taking up paper crafting to try to expand my creative side.  I've been at it about 9 months and found comfort and joy in creating things with my hands.
