Resume
Below are two very different copies of my resume:
- Progressive Resume: A creative snapshot highlighting my work history, skills, and personality in a 2-page “advertisement”.
- Traditional Resume: A comprehensive overview of my professional background, which is ideal for more formal applications.
This approach allows me to cater to both fast-paced, visually-driven environments and traditional hiring managers.
Download the one that best suits your needs, or both, whichever fits your tradition or style.
Letters of Recommendation
In my role as a Courseware Developer, I have received multiple letters of recommendation from experienced Instructional Designers. In the image on the left, you can see a letter of recommendation from an Instructional Designer with over 30 years of experience.
During my freelance career, I have had many satisfied clients, who I have been honored to receive letters of recommendation. I have showcased one here for your review, but I can provide others upon request.
Fellowship Publication
I was honored to be selected as a member of the 2019 Cohort for The Northrop Grumman Teacher Fellowship Program which is a professional development program offered in partnership by the Northrop Grumman Foundation and the National Science Teacher Association (NSTA).
The program is designed to help middle school STEM teachers (grades 5-8) improve their teaching skills with NextGen Science Standards and Cross Cutting Concepts to increase their students’ interest in STEM careers.
Through the program, teachers participate in a series of workshops and seminars led by STEM experts, and they receive funding for classroom projects and materials as well as serve a summer internship program with a local Northrop Grumman location.
I was fortunate enough to do my field work at Northrop Grumman’s Promontory facility where I worked on designing a Bridge curriculum to help transfer “Tribal Knowledge” as well as designing new curriculum material for 6th-9th grade classrooms at my school location.
Below is a PDF of my final project during my year-long fellowship. Please note that the links mentioned in the report are no longer accessible as they were hosted on the NSTA platform for only a year. However, the information is available upon request.
