About Me

I spent most of my childhood swinging a golf club in the small Northern California town, Petaluma. After high school I came to the realization that I was not going to fulfill my childhood dreams of becoming a pro golfer, so I left the nest and moved to a dorm at Sacramento State. While attending Sacramento State I got what I thought of as a “college job” selling mattresses at a retail furniture store.

Shortly after graduating with a BA in Organizational Communication I was promoted into the sales training dept as a Training Manager. What I once thought of as a college job turned into a career. My current role as Program Development Leader requires that I wear the hats of instructional designer, eLearning developer, training facilitator, LMS Administrator and all around computer nerd for the company's training dept.

As an Instructional Designer on a budget I am in constant search of innovative ways to improve the results of training programs using technology. This search has lead me to the Educational Technology program at San Diego State where I am quickly improving my skills in Instructional Design and eLearning Development. I have completed the Certificate in Instructional Technology and am now working my way towards a Masters in Educational Technology.

The combination of practical experience and a formal education is helping me to constantly improve my skills in instructional design, eLearning and web development. As I continue to improve my skills I am always looking to take advantage of potential opportunites. Please contact me for information on how I can help to improve the effectiveness of your workforce training programs.
