I decided to pursue my passion for writing and research to the highest level. I am now a full-time author. This decision will allow me to expand my book selections while marketing my published books. With more than 70 books published on Amazon, I have been busy, but my passion for writing spurs me to climb higher. My books are divided into Children's series (Belinda the Butterfly and A Navi Adventure), the SKOTOS Action/Adventure/Suspense series (The Beginning of Darkness, The Darkness Continues, The End of Darkness, and Light in the Darkness), and handbooks for outlining Thesis, Dissertation, and Capstone projects. The diversity of my interests provides various selections for my readers.

- Collaborate with organizational managers and subject matter experts (SME’s) to review employee training, marketing, branding, and customer service deficiencies.- Internal and external policy evaluation of organizational training frameworks and schema using proven taxonomies (e.g., Bloom, Maslow) to increase employee training and performance effectiveness.- Consider proper employee training models per organizational needs (e.g., Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate “ADDIE” or Rapid Prototyping) with respect to budget and scheduling.- Incorporate of employee training and learning theories using instructional and visual design tenets coupled with organizational goals, objectives, and principles necessary to meet employee and organizational needs.- Incorporate interactive employee technical training programs using applied psychology, psychometrics, human factors engineering, educational measurement, instructional design and other technically related disciplines.- Outline needs analysis with regard to current procedures designed to make recommendations to promote effective collaboration between various organizational departments.- Create training proposals resulting in a paradigm shift from traditional instructor led training (ILT) into an online eLearning forum of task specific training programs.
