I specialize in the design and delivery of instructional and supplemental materials for online business degree programs. I work closely with the program manager to ensure courses are completed in a timely manner and within budget. I proactively provide status updates and collaborate with other development team members. With over fourteen years of experience in non-traditional online and hybrid business programs, I understand the significance of courses that are applicable and rigorous. My goal is to support the organization by designing course components in the organization’s learning management system and ensuring courses meet or exceed institutional standards.
