Shelley has over 16 years of experience in IT as a Web Developer, Technical Architect, Manager, and Trainer. She has a passion for technology, gaming, and general nerdery. She loves to learn new things as well as mentor and teach others. Her passion for training is insurmountable. As technology professionals, we are always faced with rapidly changing technologies and we must continually adapt. Shelley believes that training is the key to keeping up with current development languages and best practices. Shelley’s years of experience designing, developing, and managing global corporate training programs gives her the ability to effectively organize training programs. Many IT Pros out there say they are trainers, and they certainly know their stuff, but there is a difference between knowing and teaching. Shelley aims to provide her students with an immersive learning experience, not just a bunch of lectures and handouts. She has studied learning and instructional design so that she can combine her skills in development and training effectively. Shelley is currently the Founder and CEO of HoffsTech, an organization that she started to provide web-based training and consulting services. She looks forward to many years of success in developing courses with Pluralsight!
