I deliver EME5601, the introductory course in our field to beginning Master's and PhD students at Florida State University's renowned Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies (ISLT) program in the College of Education. ISLT is ranked #1 in the country.

Worked with ISLT alumni thought leaders from around the world on the Alumni Advisory Council (AAC). Under my leadership, alumni produced a 2-day high-end conference in April 2014 with 200 attendees and about 70 presenters. With conference co-chair Cathy Tencza, secured over $30,000 in sponsorships and donations for the conference. In 2014, thought leaders conducted a comprehensive needs assessment, with a culminating 5-year strategic plan. During 2014-15, facilitated central AAC Steering Committee in collaboration with Faculty Chair Dr. Jim Klein. to implement year 1 of the plan.

As President for two years of what was then the Tallahassee Chapter of ASTD, I led our effort to developed a sustainable nonprofit structure. In 2010, our membership increased from 60 to 78, we moved from 6 to 11 programs and 2 networking events, migrated to a new website, our finances remained strong, we generated program and website sponsorship opportunities, amended the bylaws, and developed a continuous learning segment for our members. We successfully co-produced the first joint TechExpo 2011 "In the Know" with TalTech Alliance - a technology-based exposition in Tallahassee - May 4-5, 2011. In 2011, we provided 12 programs, including 1 half-day and one full-day program, two networking events, a governmental relations special interest group, a CPLP certification study group, and actively supported to individuals who are at job transition points during this tough economy.

While a doctoral student at Florida State University, I held a number of graduate student assistantships, as well as one research assistantship. At FSU's Learning Systems Institute, I worked under two different research labs - one under Dr. Roger Kaufman at the Center for Needs Assessment and Planning (CNAP) for 1 year and one under Dr. Bob Branson at the Center for Performance Technology (CPT) for 2 years. I further worked for Dr. Laura Hassler-Lang, Director of LSI, for 12 years as I led the Institute's strategic planning effort and developed two annual reports. I also worked for Dr. Amy Baylor in her Center for Research in Interactive Technologies for Learning, assisting in research, writing proposals, articles, and as project manager for a semester.Beyond LSI, I also served as teaching assistant for two courses: Learner Motivation and Basic Statistics.

During one year with the FCB's subsidiary, the Center for Prevention Workforce Development, I conducted a needs assessment/analysis of training needs for all direct service prevention workers from 0-3 years of experience. I designed and co-developed a 3-day Institute called Today's Tools for Tomorrow's Success that trained macro-level change agent skills to prevention workers throughout the state of Florida. It is now a national best practice in Behavioral Health Workforce Development. I also designed and developed the content for three learning management-based courses.Since that time, I have been rehired periodically for short contractual work to develop approximately eight Moodle-based courses in such focused areas as prevention, community planning and capacity building, multicultural awareness and counseling.
