I have twenty-five years leading strategic performance improvement projects working on certifications, learning solution development, and learning/knowledge infrastructures.I have worked with government, education, heath care, information technology, veterinary medicine, supply chain logistics, energy sector, and not-for-profits.

I am a Certified Performance Technologist (CPT) certified since 2005. I have renewed successfully every three years and I participate as an application reviewer in the CPT double-blind application review process for the International Society of Performance Improvement (ISPI). In addition, I have been active in the development of three new accreditations for ISPI.

I am a Certified Assessment and Credentialing Professional (CACP) and a certified instructional designer specializing in synchronous elearning and serious learning games as well as traditional instructor-led learning and a variety of other learning solutions.
