      Creatively collaborating on a variety of international learning projects in this forward-thinking, dynamic e-learning company.My biggest project was scripting an interactive MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) with the aim of teaching taxi drivers in Barcelona basic functional communication skills in English so they are better able to serve their customers. Additionally, I undertook the task of presenting the bite-sized video lessons, explaining the language concepts to learners in a visual and accessible manner. Below you will find the trailer of the English for Taxi Drivers course that I scripted and presented in 2015. The course was extended to level 2 due to popular demand.In addition to scripting and presenting courses for which I was a subject matter expert, I also edited, proofread and provided voice-over for courses written by other SMEs.
