Instructional Designer
CurrentCurrently serving as the lead 508 Compliance Specialist, 508 Compliance Team Lead, and an instructional designer. My experience as a government contract agency involves writing and editing technical documents related to fire and emergency services, personnel management, and Department of Defense technician level training. I am responsible for the development of certification web based training courses, in classroom instructional material, and activity support guides.I collaborate with a diverse group of other writers, programmers, subject matter experts, and graphic designers in an environment with strict and aggressive deadlines. A recent project I lead as instructional designer and project manager for the Office of Personnel Management and Department of Justice on the subject of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking in the workplace. This project was ordered to fulfill the governments obligation to create training because of a Presidential Memorandum. The project attracted the attention of the White House Adviser on Violence Against Women and was selected to be demonstrated at a collective conference of government agency personnel to address the affects of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking in the workplace.I have now been placed in charge of the company's 508 Compliance Team ensuring that our training products meet accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act as required by the federal government.
