Pam Vreeland
I have called PLS my professional home since October 30th, 2006. As Director of Online Instructional Design, I have the opportunity to work with some very creative people… the instructional designers on my team. My career in education began as a high school math instructor and subsequently moved to instructional technology and administration. I count myself as fortunate to have found a great “fit” with PLS online.
April Hayman
Since January 2007, I have had the privilege of developing online courses for PLS. I currently reside in Northern California with my husband and our three sons. Originally an artist, both 2D and 3D, I stumbled into teaching. It was an eye opener and I found that I enjoyed it. Eventually I taught online and was hooked on e-learning. Wanting to know more about how courses are developed for the digital medium led me to e-learning instructional design. I’m very happy to be working for such a great company and wonderful co-workers!
Natalie Laderas-Kilkenny
I started working with Performance Learning Systems as an Instructional Designer in April 2007. I currently live in Portland, OR with my husband and two dogs. I began my career in education as a teacher of elementary education and later worked as a trainer and instructional designer at Intel Corporation. One of my passions is learning to harness the power of information online as well as learning using social networking and web-enabled (Web 2.0) tools.
Christy Tucker
I’m an instructional designer, and I’ve been part of the Online Course Development team since November 2006. I work from home in North Carolina. I started my career as a K-12 music and band instructor, then changed to corporate software training. Eventually I found my way to developing online courses, which I love because it’s a great mix of education and technology.
