About Me

I'm an educational technologist and researcher dedicated to improving online learning outcomes in higher education.

With 12 years of experience and a PhD in Learning Sciences, I've helped institutions transform their approach to online education. My work sits at the intersection of research and practice - I believe the best designs are informed by evidence.

What I Do:

📚 Online Program Development - Designed and launched 15+ fully online degree programs
👩‍🏫 Faculty Development - Trained 500+ faculty in online pedagogy and course design
🔬 Learning Research - Published 20+ peer-reviewed articles on online learning effectiveness
♿ Accessibility - Championed universal design principles across institutions

Current Focus:
I'm particularly interested in how AI and adaptive learning technologies can personalize the student experience while maintaining the human connection that makes education meaningful.

Speaking & Consulting:
I regularly speak at conferences like OLC Accelerate, EDUCAUSE, and ISTE. I also consult with institutions on their online learning strategies.
