I have occasionally served as a consultant and project manager in areas related to online learning, instructional design, and media production.
Projects
U.S. Veterans Administration — Supporting Families of Deployed Personnel
I worked on a project with a team from the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, for the U.S. Veterans Administration. We created a series of elearning modules that assist spouses and families of deployed military personnel. These family members experience many hardships and difficulties. Our project was one piece the VA counselors can use to help these families. Within the team, I served as the instructional designer, and web and elearning developer (working in HTML and Articulate Storyline).
Cengage Crisis Videos
Dr. Richard James (an expert in counseling education) contacted me to produce a revised version of the crisis counseling videos for the newest (2016) edition of his industry-leading textbook. I produced these seven instructional videos in the spring of 2016.
Wolf River Conservancy Instruction
I created interactive lessons with content experts about conservation for the Wolf River recreation area near Memphis, Tennessee.
