Greetings! I hold a master's degree in information science (MIS) and also have four years of doctoral work in the same field under my belt. All of my graduate work was completed at the School of Library & Information Science (SLIS) at Indiana University - Bloomington. My academic research interests were in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with emphases on usability and creativity and technology.

My career goals expand upon these interests to include editing, proofreading, writing, e-learning, user experience design, information architecture (IA), usability, instructional design, project management, and research.

The table below provides a snapshot of my relevant skills and knowledge. Follow the links above to view more details about my work experience and academic endeavors. Thanks for visiting!
