Be the Ball

Here is the canned version:

I have been learning about and using technology for practical purposes for many years at a professional level.  As an Architectural Historian I instructed laypeople, consultants and officials in the most efficient and concise way to document historic sites. I was also involved with public outreach publications as related to historic resources throughout New Jersey. This utilized several types of publication software in an effort to inform and instruct school-aged children in the activities and techniques used by archaeologists throughout the state. I was also charged with the design and fabrication of Historic Interpretive Displays for the Trenton, NJ waterfront, which called for the creative use of cutting-edge layout software to enlighten visitors as to the history of the Trenton waterfront in an appealing and informative way.

As an Architectural Materials Conservator, I participated in the implementation of new technology to aid in the Preservation of historic architectural resources throughout the United States. The end results are a dissemination of the information to fellow conservators through a practical report as an educational tool for other stewards of large scale buildings.

The integration of technology with education has always been at the core of what I have accomplished at the professional level, whether it is through the creative use of technology to tell the story of a historic waterfront, or at a highly technical level to protect an historic treasure. The culmination of these experiences has been the completion of the TLT MS program...and hopefully something meaningful that will unite all facets of my skills into something focused and exciting. Currently I am employed part-time by DeSales University as an instructional technologist.
