Thank you for visiting my website and learning more about me and my work. If you’d like to review my resume, please head on over to LinkedIn.
My journey in corporate training began in 2003 as a field trainer at Janus Capital Group in their customer service call center. Working closely with a small team to train representatives ignited my interest in training and employee development. Though I had little formal training experience at the time, this role motivated me to grow and improve professionally.
With guidance and encouragement from my mentor, I pursued a master’s degree in Information and Learning Technologies, specializing in Adult Learning and Instructional Design, at the University of Colorado Denver. I graduated in 2010, and during my studies, I discovered a passion for creating technology-driven training solutions.
In 2017, I launched my company, Ginger Nichols Design Group, LLC., where I take on contract instructional design projects. Running my own business has allowed me to work with a variety of organizations across industries, gaining valuable insights into how different companies approach employee training and helping them improve their efforts. While I enjoy contracting, my ideal setup is a full-time role paired with contract work as a side business.
What I love most about instructional design is how the field constantly evolves. In 2020, I earned the ATD Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) designation, driven by my passion for learning and staying at the forefront of the profession.
