How has OpenSesame changed since you’ve joined?
I started when we were in the old building with very small teams. We’ve grown so much in both size and process. We are much more strategic than we were when we first started. We’ve also expanded our customer support hours to match our global client needs.

Associate Software Engineer Portland, Oregon

In what ways have you been supported by the OpenSesame team or culture?
Each employee has weekly one-on-one meetings with our managers to discuss how things are going, check in on our promotions, and voice any concerns. I’ve never felt afraid to speak my mind to my manager or the whole team about anything I think is important. My voice is always heard.

Danielle Rubio

Danielle Rubio

Manager, Product Operations Portland, Oregon

How has life changed for your role since the pandemic?
OpenSesame decided early on to do whatever we could to allow the public to access content around “COVID Preparedness” and “Wellness” — for free. That was huge. Things don’t usually change that rapidly. Not in eLearning. We were dealing with shifting priorities and trying to do the right thing for our community and the world.

Dave McFarland

Dave McFarland (he/him)

Senior Manager of Content
Portland, Oregon

How did you get into the field you’re in?
I’ve been an instructor and trainer of adult learners for — well, let’s just say a long time. I was initially a web developer and designer as a magazine art director. I was interested in teaching people new skills. That led to teaching adult learners at universities, corporations, and continuing education programs. From there, I got into online video instruction, teaching computer programming and managed an educational programming and video team. At OpenSesame, we review lots of visual footage; I bring a design eye to producing courses.
