I have over 20 years of experience a teacher, curriculum developer and instructional designer. I have worked for Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland where I designed, developed and managed a wide variety of technologies in support of student learning. I have created entire courses in Articulate Storyline from an outline of talking points, powerpoint decks and other formats. I have created courses for Arizona State University, Nike, University of Illinois, Presterafx, Dialight, Strayer University, BuildED, GetWorkerFit, and Montgomery County Public Schools among others. I received my Master’s degree from the University of Maryland in educational technology and have spent a significant portion of my career managing, developing and maintaining learning technologies. I have both taught and developed distance learning courses for MCPS computer science teachers and have an in-depth understanding of learning objects, SCORM and xAPI models and the ADDIE design process. During my time as a technology designer I have learned quite a lot about different Learning Management System tools, including Blackboard, Canvas and Moodle and the process of online learning. It takes a team of dedicated people to create and implement a LMS environment. Bigger is not always best. Sometimes the most effective solution is the least complicated one. I view issues as challenges to be solved and while I don't always have the answer I know where to look to find it. I am an excellent problem solver and I know how to work with others to be successful.
