Professional ​
Info​​
When it comes to E-learning and instructional design, I have the unique experience of being from both a business and educational background. From working for Fortune 100 companies such as AmerisourceBergen, Comcast, Bristol-Myers Squibb, United States Steel, to managing thousands of online students at Pennsylvania’s online high schools; I use my experience to deliver effective functional courses. My greatest skill is putting myself in both the learner’s and stakeholder's shoes by designing functional courses with measurable outcomes. I created programs to accurately predict high school student’s future test scores on state testing, and managed projects ranging from upper management training to training to railroad safety. For last four years, I have been focused on the healthcare industry. My laid back yet punctual, positive, and detail oriented attitude has allowed me be successful with all types of SME’s and stakeholders.
