My Story
Hi, I’m Divya Sharma, an instructional designer who’s passionate about creating learning experiences that are not just informative but truly engaging.
3
Years of
Experience
My journey started in traditional classrooms as a teacher, where I quickly realized that the most effective learning happens when it's designed to meet diverse needs—whether you're dealing with young students or adult learners. The classroom taught me that learning never really stops, and I've carried that mindset into the world of e-learning.​
​I'm currently pursuing a diploma in E-learning Design and Training Development at Lambton College, where I’m continuously honing my skills in instructional design and educational technology. I’ve always been someone who loves learning new things and picks them up quickly—whether it’s designing interactive modules with Articulate 360 or crafting visually appealing content using Canva. That adaptability has been my biggest asset as I transition from traditional teaching to digital learning.​
​Beyond work, I’m an artist at heart. I love art, craft, and painting, and I bring that creativity into everything I do. Whether it’s designing visually appealing e-learning modules or brainstorming new ways to engage learners, I find joy in making things beautiful and functional.​
​
In my free time, I volunteer as a learning designer with Rumie Learn, where I get to share my passion for microlearning and help people across the globe gain practical skills.
​
At the core of my work is a deep belief that learning should be accessible, enjoyable, and tailored to the needs of each individual. Whether through traditional classrooms or digital platforms, I’m committed to creating learning solutions that inspire curiosity and foster growth.
