Project: Complete revamp of a 90-hour real estate salesperson pre-licensing course to meet revised requirements from the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE), effective January 2026.

Role: Course Content Manager

Scope: 275 learning objectives across 12 content sections, aligned to three Bloom's Taxonomy levels (Recall, Application, Analysis). New lesson development, existing lesson revision, gap analysis, quiz question creation distributed across module quizzes and practice exams. Over 1,000 assessment questions produced and validated.

What Made This Project Different: I used AI strategically throughout the workflow, working across multiple AI platforms to accelerate content production. But speed without accuracy is dangerous in regulated training. I developed a cross-model validation process that checks AI-generated content against primary sources before anything reaches the client. On this project, that process caught fabricated statutory references and made-up compliance timelines that would have gone into a live, state-regulated course.

Every citation in the final course was verified against the actual Arizona Revised Statutes and Administrative Code published on azre.gov.

Outcome: Course launched on schedule, met ADRE's revised curriculum requirements, and is actively being used by students pursuing their Arizona real estate salesperson license. The project received a 5-star client review.
