IF YOU'VE EVER FALLEN ASLEEP OVER A BORING LECTURE OR FAST-FORWARDED THROUGH A TEDIOUS ELEARNING EXERCISE, YOU KNOW THAT CREATING A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE IS HARDER THAN IT SEEMS - ITS WHAT I DO!

01 PROFESSIONAL

THESE THINGS HAVE SERVED ME WELL ...

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

In almost every aspect of my work, the skills of assessing a need, reviewing solutions, bringing teams to innovate and compromise - the very fabric of my instructional design training and experience - have come into play.  Thinking about how people learn, how teams can innovate, how new ideas can become a reality - this is what I do regularly in my work

INNOVATION

Once I read Diffusion of Innovations (E. Rogers), I was hooked!  I become antsy when processes are inefficient and I can see a better way - particularly where technology enables working smarter as humans. I welcome learning new information and am a quick learner of technology.  The logical design and flow just naturally make sense to me.  Instructional design & technology is a perfect profession for me - as it allows me to constantly challenge my assumptions and lead teams to dig for real answers that will help us solve instructional problems/challenges
