At Purdue University, I lead engineering and computing course enhancement and serve as Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF-funded project. I work with faculty across institutions to integrate competency-based assessment and accessible, interactive learning experiences.

Across higher education and corporate learning, I've designed courses, assessments, and faculty development resources, including project-based work for The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania and Primeast. I also teach educational technology, digital storytelling, and audio editing at Walden University.
