Bringing excitement back to learning.
Whether it is teaching, designing or researching I continually find new ways to connect with learners and help them connect with the content in order to construct meaningful learning experiences.
My mission is to rid the world of boring learning and facilitate meaningful, fun, active learning changes paradigms and opens up new worlds of opportuniy.
