Bio
Scot Yonan
Renee is an excellent instructional designer who also possesses a preternatural ability in academic technology, project management, process improvement, and client management. She is able to navigate deftly through the online course development process with new and nervous faculty, and she is always in demand as an instructional designer. She is a self-sufficient worker who can manage her own work and the work of others, and her temperament is unfailingly positive. Renee stands out from her peers because of her realized potential, and she is one of the only people I would trust to completely take over my job if I needed it. She is a natural fit for management. I will aggressively pursue working with Renee for the rest of my career.
