Hello!

I love showing and teaching people about technology and creative stuff.

I have evolved this into a career in teaching, visual communications, and writing, where, I happily discovered, they pay you to teach technology and applications to other people, design things, and write for / about them.

As an enthusiastic and expansive instructor, I am often called upon to share creative ways to learn and use design and productivity applications, like MS Office, Adobe design applications, and web design/content tools. I focus on Universal Design, accessibility, rubrics and outcomes, and streamlining online course management tools like CANVAS. My strengths include a student/universal design focus, curriculum planning, written and oral communication, and organized workflow/instruction skills. I have a Master's in Education, a BA in Liberal Arts/History, a, AAS is Graphic Design, and Certificates in Web Design and Web Development. I also have plenty of workplace experience in various industries and types of positions, like permanent, project, temp, and freelance.

I am always excited about Community Colleges, Vocational Schools, Online Academies and Schools, Online Virtual Homeschooling, and Training/Coordination opportunities. These can include Online Instructor ~ Hybrid Instructor ~ Adjunct Faculty ~ Associate Faculty ~ Design Instructor ~ Business Technology Instructor ~ Associate Instructor ~ Substitute Instructor ~ Survey Course (various topics) Instructor. You should be too, since I bring fun, efficiency, and inventive ways to help students access information, curriculum, learning styles, and skills-building!
