Independent Consultant at RidgeViewMedia.com
Greater Los Angeles Area
I am a self-motivated, self-disciplined, and creative learning and documentation professional who works well on a team and needs very minimal supervision. I will contribute over 15 years demonstrated experience to the objectives and goals of both your business and your learners. I devour and dominate software programs new to me, so I can create effective talent development deliverables in both online and print format, and for instructor-led activities. I work cooperatively with Subject Matter Experts, from the mail room to the executive suite, to deliver projects on time and within budget. I advocate for the needs of the learner by promoting adult learning theories in balance with the goals of the business. I strive to be a 21st century learning professional, and am always learning, staying current with appropriate industry trends. I look forward to more involvement with blended learning solutions that use Webinars, virtual worlds, and other Web 2.0 technologies. I care about needs analysis and its alignment with business goals and results. I want to grow my experience with post-assessment programs and processes.
