Why Hire Me

Story exists in every design medium. It reaches beyond entertainment. It leads to evoking emotion, knowledge and understanding of the story being told. My goal is to craft a story with every expression of design, whether it be through photography, typography, eLearning or writing and directing. Being a part of a team and leading collaborative groups to help bring fresh ideas to execution is where great stories live, and I thrive in those kinds of environments.

Education

May, 2001   Bachelor’s Degree – Psychology. Ouachita Baptist University.

Work Experience

MULTIMEDIA DESIGNER. CAE, USA (June 2012 – current)
Hired as a Multimedia Designer developing courseware for the KC-135 Airframe, the T-6 Aircraft, as well as numerous in house projects related to CBT development. I’ve innovated new ways of presenting CBT material for in-house courseware (Sexual Harassment, Diversity/Affirmative Action) using Flash and ActionScript 2.0/3.0 and some JavaScript. I’ve also led project efforts in redesigning and customizing courseware viewers to adapt to future mobile outputs as well as help design the UI/UX for a 3D immersive application used in aircrew training.

CBT SPECIALIST. Lockheed Martin (September 2007 – February 2012)
As a CBT specialist I assisted in developing content in both a Flash based authoring environment as well as used the IBM LCMS for building courseware. I worked with SME’s to develop content both static and interactive. I worked extensively within the LCMS to learn the various components of making a full course.
