INSTRUCT, INTEGRATE AND INNOVATE

As a technical communicator, data analyst, grant writer, web developer, and instructional designer, I inform others by creating visual displays of quantitative and qualitative data. I implement technology in order to improve quality of life by educating and empowering others. I instruct others on and through the use of technology to equip emerging generations. I integrate digital and analog resources drawn from diverse fields and theories. With this knowledge, skills, and, experience, I innovate technology by applying it in novel ways while inspiring others to do the same.
