Hello! Thank you for stopping by to view my page.

 

I am a Scrum Master / Project Manager / Instructional Designer with over 15 years of Training and Development experience in the Information Technology (IT) field.

 

The Agile Methodology is a worldwide concept that is used in almost any environment. Although the focus is software development, I was able to use the concepts to work in an Instructional Design / Training Development capacity. I used Agile Methodology to complete thought engaging training solutions.

 

Listed below are a few of the writing samples that I developed at AT&T. The samples use the Agile Approach to Design Simply. I used a “flat design” that satisfies Section 508 of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

 

I am looking forward to having a discussion with you.
