I'm a higher education practitioner who loves designing courses and learning experiences that actually work for real students in real classrooms, whether that's in person, hybrid, or online. I focus on both subject-specific courses and academic success classes, all grounded in active learning and thoughtful student-centered design. Alongside my teaching, I apply strong leadership and project management skills to design and lead initiatives that scale, improve student learning, and shape more effective and inclusive educational environments.
