My journey as a learning professional began when I accepted a position at Heartland Christian School in Columbiana, Ohio, as a high school English teacher. While there, I taught English 9, 10, 11, 12, Basic English and a high school reading course. I also taught computer science courses to students in pre-K through 12th grade.

After several years of teaching, I became a technology integration specialist with Epiphany Management Group, and helped several schools adopt Google Apps for Education. I also conducted day-long technology boot camps for teachers.

Eventually, this position led to me becoming the technology and systems coordinator at the Columbiana Public Library, where I kept the library's technology running and taught technology-related adult education classes.

From there, I became the technology director of a school system, where I really engrossed myself in educational technology and the power it provides in enhancing learning.

I am currently an instructional design specialist at the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging, where I regularly conduct new hire orientations, live trainings and create interactive training experiences for staff members.

Feel free to check out the trainings I've created in the portfolio section of this site.
