Personal Profile
As the Online Learning & Innovative Instruction Specialist and an Instructional Designer for the Office of Educational Innovation and Assessment (EIA) at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, I assist the implementation and evaluation of university online learning initiatives; act as a resource to faculty and departments seeking to supplement instruction through the development of high quality online courses, hybrid courses, and degrees; and facilitate a university-wide culture of exploration and dialogue around online education. I also provide guidance to faculty to develop methods and strategies to help their students achieve desired learning objectives.
Read a brief statement about my teaching philosophy. I'm constantly researching methods regarding how technology can be used to enhance meaningful learning environments.
I'm eager to accept challenges and master new skills. When I'm not working I enjoy camping, reading, and being creative. I live in Clarence Center, New York, with my husband
Mike and our dog Astro.
