What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to innovate in educational technology and enhance learner engagement.

I am a dedicated professional with over a decade of experience in teaching and learning design, specializing in creating impactful and engaging educational programs. My journey began in the classroom, where I honed my skills in delivering effective instruction both in physical and online environments. Transitioning into leadership roles, I have successfully led teams of educators and instructional designers to develop innovative solutions that enhance learning experiences across various modalities.

As the Academic Strategy Director at Thomas Jefferson University, I played a pivotal role in transitioning faculty and programs to new learning management systems, ensuring a seamless experience for both educators and students. My passion for education drives me to implement creative strategies that positively impact learners' academic trajectories. I am committed to fostering collaboration among subject matter experts and leveraging technology to create dynamic learning environments.
