Hello! You can call me Shellye!
Currently, I am a Training Course Developer. I am developing site-specific facilities training programs for multiple data centers. The scope of the site-specific facilities training development includes unique training modules for each site aimed at preparing employees to work in the facilities. The training program includes beginner to advanced levels for electrical, mechanical, fire & life safety, and monitoring & controls
I have over 10 years experience in leadership roles from a diverse career background. My ambition drives me to perform above expectations. This level of ambition is how I earned and was awarded the Expert Field Medical Badge while a medic in the United States Army. As a first generation college student, it was an honor to earn not only a Bachelor of Fine Arts, but also 2 graduate degrees - Master of Fine Arts and a Master of Arts. Teaching in higher education has given me the privilege to manage large groups of people across multiple campuses, and courses, and aid in their future professional and personal success. I have a passion for working with people. My strengths include research, multi-tasking, organization, and project management.
