During my career I’ve gained experience, skills, and knowledge in the realms of education, talent development, e-learning, business, leadership, corporate organization, education technology, and instructional strategies. Additionally through my professional research and study, I’ve achieved a doctorate in educational leadership and instructional systems technology, as well as high levels of expertise in online learning, virtual operations, learning theory, research methodologies, assessment and evaluation processes, and qualitative and quantitative analyses.
