    My primary focus during most of the past 17 years has been education and information management. I have been involved in instruction and curriculum design for 14 years, with an emphasis on case study, authentic problem solving, and the integration of educational technology into the classroom. In 1999, I developed a professional Web site that includes a mailing list of over 1400 members, offers board-approved, online continuing medical education, and hosts a blog and a library of original articles. As an outgrowth of the Web site, I have also produced two professional conferences, overseeing every aspect of the events.

I currently work as an Instructional Designer in the e-learning department of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
