What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in educational technology.

I am Kirsten L. Cady, an experienced professional with a strong educational background in Psychology and Instructional Technology. I hold a Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, both from McNeese State University. My commitment to education and language arts is evident in my work as an Elementary School Educator, where I develop positive relationships with students and create engaging learning environments.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. I am proficient in various CRM software and have experience in adaptive needs-based assessment and curriculum design. My role as a Membership Specialist for the Girl Scouts of Louisiana allowed me to coordinate and implement recruiting strategies, ensuring a supportive and equitable environment for all participants. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance learning experiences and drive effective communication.
