CURRICULUM VITAE

I am an Instructional Systems Developer (ISD). I began my career in web development with a specialization in W3C Accessibility Guidelines, which fed naturally into Section 508 Compliance testing and development. I have extensive experience developing Computer Based Training and eLearning tutorials. I have also developed Instructor Led Training packages including student/instructor manuals, presentations and other materials. My goal is to expand my ISD experience in CBT, ILT, and virtual training delivery while engaging with like-minded developers to deliver a superior user experience.
