Instructors
AMY GIBSON
Master Trainer
Amy’s experience in adult education spans her 20 year professional career supporting the Intelligence Community. While serving in the Marines, she completed the Defense Language Institute (DLI) Military Language Instructor’s Course, certifying her to teach Spanish and Albanian. Upon separation from active duty, Amy took a position as an IT trainer with the National Maritime Intelligence Center. Through her exposure to the software analysts were using, and driven by the feedback she received from the analysts during training, her position evolved to that of business analyst and requirements engineer. She worked to bridge the gap between the users and the developers to ensure that the best possible products were being delivered.
In 2011, Amy became an agile practitioner. This began as a test engineer for multiple agile development teams within a large federal organization. Seeing the benefits it provided, her enthusiasm for the agile process quickly grew. She stepped out of her test role to become a scrum master and then an agile strategist- helping to implement agile engineering practices across a large enterprise. While most of her work focuses on organizational change management, she still is able to dedicate a significant amount of time to what she is truly passionate about- teaching and coaching agile teams.
