About Me
I’m an Instructional Designer. I build educational experiences, fix things that are broken, and solve problems with technology.
I have been working in the Educational Technology field since 2013. My current position is at SUNY Oneonta, where I work with faculty on the development of online, hybrid, and face-to-face courses. Some of my interests include scaffolding digital competencies across the curriculum, and the exploration, adoption, and creation of high quality open resources. I am one of the co-founders of the SUNY Create initiative that invites students to build a webpresence using open source tools.
I am pursuing my Ph. D in Curriculum and Instruction at SUNY Albany working within the department of Educational Theory and Practice.
What I do
I specialize in quickly adopting new technologies, matching projects to appropriate tools, and providing training. I work with instructors who are building textbooks, online courses, and enhancing face to face classes. I help them apply research-driven best practices, set goals, and create project management templates. We succeed when students have great learning experiences.

Things I Care About
Accessibility
I have served on both institutional and SUNY Accessibility Committees. I work on general accessibility training and also specialized training on screenreaders and Math Accessibility.
Open Educational Resources
As the campus co-lead for Open Educational Resources I help faculty with both the adoption and creation of high quality Open Educational Resources. I help faculty find existing resources, build new, and answer questions about copyright and technology.
Digital Literacy
As one of the founders of SUNY’s Domain of One’s Own project, I give students and faculty access to website building programs and teach them the fundamentals of the modern internet.
Supporting Faculty
Working with faculty partners, my goal is to give the best learning experience to students at my institution.
