Bringing excitement back to learning.

I am a passionate and innovative educator and designer, committed to revolutionizing the way people learn and engage with content. I continually explore fresh approaches to connect with learners and create meaningful learning experiences. My mission is to rid the world of boring education by facilitating interactive, fun, and active learning that not only transforms paradigms but also opens up new worlds of opportunity.

Driven by a deep belief in the power of engaging education, I tirelessly strive to challenge the status quo and foster a love for learning. By incorporating dynamic methodologies, cutting-edge technologies, and collaborative initiatives, I aim to ignite curiosity, encourage active participation, and empower learners to unlock their full potential. My goal is to create a learning environment where learners can construct knowledge, think critically, and connect with the content in a meaningful way, paving the path for lifelong learning and personal growth. Together, let us embark on an exciting journey of exploration, where education becomes an exhilarating adventure that knows no bounds.

BS Systems Analysis

UoP is where I learned how to apply systems thinking.  This has been especially helpful in my course design and teaching.  Systems thinking helps me to see how individual parts affect the whole and create different outcomes.

Masters of Adult Education

Penn State is where I learned how adults learned and studied under Dr. Moore who coined the term transactional distance.  This is where I first began really creating deep learning environments.
