Hey there! Thank you so much for visiting my portfolio. Let me tell you a little about myself and my background.
Background: For the last 20 years, I have been an educator. I had the opportunity to teach a diverse range of classes, from 12th grade Forensics to 6th grade Design and Modeling (with lots of middle school science in between). Throughout the course of my career, my passion has always been in curriculum design. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process from objectives to assessment and have been chasing technology right along with it. I have been a pioneer in bringing technology into my classrooms and have helped other educators with tech integration over the years.
Making a Change: Although I cherish my time in the classroom and the thousands of students I have had the honor of influencing, I am ready for a change. I have been designing instruction for years! Having never used a textbook, I always took pride in creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences for my audience. Now, I want to create those for the rest of the world. I want to focus my attention and talent on the design process, creating new opportunities to grow and learn for myself and others.
What I Bring: I will bring everything I have to my new career...my experiences, my education, my talents, my passion, and my willingness to learn. I bring a deep understanding of the learning process which helps me design projects with a big-picture perspective. With a strong attention to detail and a flare for visual design, I have the talent to give my clients exactly what they need. The communication, collaboration, project management, and decision making it takes to run a classroom are easily transferrable to a corporate or higher education role. Bottom line...I WILL bring what you need. I have so much to offer coupled with the determination to learn, research, and figure out what else I can do to deliver the best possible experience.
The Fun Stuff: When I am not on my computer discovering what else I can learn professionally, I am making YouTube videos, watching football, or hanging out at my pool. I love to go on road trips with my husband, listen to live music, do jigsaw puzzles, and play with my crazy dogs or grown "kids."
