PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

With an academic background (BS) in cognitive psychology (a cross between psychology and computer
science) and Instructional Design and Technology (MA Edu), I am passionate about instructional design,
computational thinking and applied learning sciences. My skillset is diverse, ranging from the traditional
Instructional Design set such as needs assessment, content design and development (video, graphics, web
and tools such as Captivate and Storyline) and evaluation design, to the tech arena where I am proficient
in all aspects of web development (HTML5, CSS3, JS, etc.).

I have produced a wide array of instructional material including training and professional development for K-
12 and university instructors, learning based marketing aimed at enterprise investors (investors not
necessarily from the target sector) and detailed training packages for franchisees. For the past few years, I
have mainly created curriculum and content for web development and computer science instruction.
However, I feel comfortable creating content for any subject matter because overarching the technical skills,
methods and tools used in the instructional design profession, I excel in systematically breaking down complex
topics and explaining them in a manner that is understandable and appealing to a broad range of learners.

My philosophical approach to designing is grounded in effective communication skills – understanding the

needs of your stakeholders is key in leveraging intrinsic motivation and encouraging engagement.

CORE QUALIFICATIONS

▪ Three years Instructional Design experience with a proven ability to design, develop and implement
effective training programs and professional development
▪ Background in traditional research and survey design which structures and amplifies my ability to
perform on target needs assessments
▪ Broad experience base with eLearning development software (Articulate Storyline/Studio, Captivate,
Camtasia, etc.) and protocol (SCORM and Tin Can) including experience with many Learning Management
Systems and Content Management Software Platforms (including one I helped develop)
▪ Photoshop and Illustrator: I create storyboards, content outlines and training modules using a variety of
current software (e.g., Adobe CC suites including After Effects and Premiere Pro, Camtasia and A/V
editing)
▪ High proficiency with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and web dev techniques (various CDNs, front-end
frameworks)– this also includes constant learning (on my part) then breaking it down and writing content
▪ Excellent at communicating and collaborating with subject matter experts (SME’s), stakeholders, trainers
and production teams- face to face or online (Slack, Google Hangouts, Zoom, etc.)
▪ Adherent but not limited to the ADDIE model of design as well as SAM (Agile) and Rapid Prototyping
▪ Able to update or incorporate existing learning materials and content (e.g. MS PowerPoint) into eLearning
modules, scenarios, job aids or course materials
 ▪ Demonstrated organizational and project management skills (Asana, Trello, various others) with an ability
to work well under a tight deadline-based environment
▪ Strong background in academic and non-academic writing and presentation
▪ Skilled in data analysis and visualization techniques (Excel, SPSS, MATLAB and other tools)
▪ Advocate for and excel at creating all content to meet “508 compliance”
