Professional Statement
Updated, November 13, 2019
Through my career I've been a learner first and a teacher at heart. My early technology focused positions have helped me learn while teaching staff members and that inspired me to continue guiding my career on a path related to education.
My higher level leadership position has prepared me to work under hard deadlines while managing staff members with different backgrounds, experiences, and expectations.
Working in Student Media has given me the opportunity to not only mange students but assist them in their learning experience. This position isn't an academic one but it helps me work with students while really understand their ability to learn and operate in a real world media technology environment.

Description
In IT521 we were assigned to design, and proctor a usability test for a web authoring tool. While proctoring the test we needed to use multimedia tools to log and track individual task completion and actions of the user. To track this, we used a screen recording tool that also displayed user clicks while recording the audio from the user.
Rationale
This artifact displays my ability to use technology in various ways. Whether it's in a learning environment to track a user's actions or to document and share something happening on-screen. My technological skillset is adaptable and ever-growing.

Collaboration, Usability Testing
(Download the full report here)
Description
This was an assignment to work with a team of 2-3 colleagues to design a usability test for a web authoring tool. We chose Wix as our authoring tool. The project required effective communication and collaboration with group members. The group developed a list of tasks for the user and synthesized the information for a final report.
Rationale
Collaborating with a group isn't hard but effectively collaborating is very difficult when adding in geographic limitations. Our group never met in person but we regularly communicated through email, worked through a shared google doc, and coordinated zoom meetings when necessary.
