I am a graduate of Bloomsburg University with a Master of Science - Instructional Design and Technology. I am highly creative, organized, and a team player. I am interested in a modern approach to instructional design utilizing animated graphics and 3D virtual worlds along side Articulate Rise, Storyline and Adobe Captivate. I am interested in working for clients that are seeking a partner that will meet their challenges with the most up to date instructional design skills.
Most importantly I am a life long learner always seeking new skills, tool and methods to solve complex problems.
