Richmond, Virginia, United States

Paeonian Springs, Virginia, United States

I was very excited to research dozens of Learning Management Systems (LMS) for this client and was able to design and implement a system to create and deploy a curriculum for adult learning.

I was pulled into this exciting opportunity to work on an entire overhaul of their systems by implementing new software while paying close attention to the needs of the staff that was used to the old software. I should also mention that I did this while leading a 700+ congregation in the music ministry with over 40 volunteers,

Purcellville, Va

I joined an ambitious team that was interested in creating a Computer Sciences department for their fully online school. There, I created the curriculum and recorded three courses: Computer Skills, Graphic & Web Design, and Computer Sciences. It was an amazing experience to be able to translate my passion for tech and education into a course that turned out to be so successful.

Ashburn

One of my jobs as Director of HEARTS was to setup a Board of Directors and since it was a faith based organization, I figured that it would be a good idea to ask a local pastor to head this initiative. We agreed to do a trade: I'd come work as a worship leader and he'd come work on the board. Honestly, this opportunity was amazing and gave me much more exposure to lead large groups of volunteers as well as to use my expertise as a UX designer to help Harvest to interact better with its own brand.

I started this job as a Physics teacher and was privileged to take on more responsibilities as we grew. This is where I found my passion for directing, vision casting, and public speaking.

Sterling, Va

As I was teaching multiple subjects, the school needed someone to cast a vision, implement tech, and formalize the school.

Herndon

When I moved to the US my Dutch educational experience didn't translate well but I wasn't going to sit around and do nothing. I picked up some odd jobs that all had one thing in common: fixing people's technical problems. One day a friend, whom I consider a mentor, told me that I should start charging for that and I that's exactly what I did. I googled "how to start an LLC" and 10 minutes later I framed my business entity and was the proud owner of VES. I started off with Web Design, Graphic Design, and general UX Design which seemed to be the biggest need in my direct area. Very soon, however, I moved to consulting and advised my clients on how to interact with their own brand better. In this position my team and me served dozens of clients to get the best out of their business.
