Professional Synopsis |
|
Instructional Design
All throughout my career, I was involved
in Instructional Design. First at
Electronic Data Systems (EDS) where
I created Mainframe computer-based
training (CBT) courses for our internal
Computer Operations & Development
program.
Next,
Ericsson Network Systems hired me to
be part of a team in developing CBT
courses for our telephone switches.
The target audience were companies who
purchased Ericsson switches such as SBC,
Verizon, and Pac-Tel.
Human-Performance Improvement
Once I graduated
from
Joe Harless'
Accomplishment-Based Curriculum
Development workshop and started work at
Fidelity Investments, I developed
job-aids and training materials to help
in the transfer of skills and knowledge
of Mass Mail employees who were
relocating from both Melrose, MA and
Irving, TX to one facility in Covington,
KY. |
 |
Technical
Writing
While employed at
McKesson Inc., I was part of a team
who developed training and
documentation materials for various
health-insurance companies to improve
their efficiency in providing health
care to their subscribers.
I first developed training manuals at
McKesson for medical-management software
products to help give providers
actionable information on how to manage
conditions. Next, I created
technical documentation on medical code-auditing
software, which reduced unnecessary
reimbursement on the part of
health-insurance companies.
Software Video Training
As a subcontractor for Keystone
Learning, I completed a course on FrontPage 2003 - Essentials. For Technical Lead, I produced
a video series called
Authorware Basics.
Web Design and Development
Designing web sites
grew out of my vast experience in
developing computer-based training
courses. I obtained certification in
Flash MX classes
Motion Over Time in New York. |
