Welcome!

At Work
I am the Technical Training and Documentation Administrator for Computer Services User Support at Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. I develop and conduct training sessions, create training and reference materials, facilitate the maintenance of training facilities, maintain a number of mission-critical websites, oversee several publications, run an annual Banner Users Group conference, and on occasion am lucky enough to jet around the country to speak at other conferences on topics relating to training in a technical environment. I have a well-rounded educational and professional background that puts me in a good position to work well with both the technical people who make the stuff I train on, and the less-technical people I teach to use said stuff. Currently, I supervise a staff of three phenomenal people.
I also teach per-course for Missouri State University’s Fashion and Interior Design Department and am working on helping them set up a photography studio.
At Home
My wonderful husband, Ryan, and I were married in October 2009. He makes awesome video games as part of Pixelscopic and is all-around awesome.
When I’m not working, I can usually be found taking photographs (check out my 2012 Daily Photo Project), sewing on a 1976 Kenmore sewing machine that belonged to my grandmother Lois, drawing and illustrating, scrapbooking, reading, yoga-ing (is that a word? If not, it is now!), and volunteering with a lovely young lady named Jessica through Big Brothers Big Sisters (we celebrate our five-year match anniversary this year!). I can play bass guitar, change the oil in my car, split an infinitive, and walk in four-inch heels, sometimes all in one day.
