I believe that well-designed online, hybrid, and AI-enhanced learning experiences have the power to positively shape the future of higher education. My passion lies in partnering with educational leaders to navigate the evolving digital and AI landscape, empowering them to design experiences that are engaging, ethical, and transformative. By blending deep expertise in instructional design, educational technology, and AI innovation, I help translate complex platforms and emerging tools into practical strategies that meet faculty and student needs. If you are seeking a thought partner who can bridge pedagogy, technology, and AI to prepare learners for success in the modern world, my experience can be a major asset to your team.
