My Focus
Collaboration
Open communication channels and collaboration is key! I have collaborated with instructors, subject matter experts, students, administrators, and professionals from varied disciplines. We have worked together to create valuable and engaging educational experiences. From brainstorming sessions to the final product, each interaction has been a demonstration of the transformative power of teamwork and shared passion for creating truly impactful learning environments.
Leadership
I have been handpicked to lead the instructional design facet of multi-million dollar grant initiatives, where a blend of design acumen, creativity, timeliness, and finesse is paramount. In this pivotal role, I've organized the seamless integration of innovative instructional strategies, ensuring each project achieves its fullest potential while meeting rigorous standards of excellence.
Course Development
Creating engaging and effective learning opportunities is at the heart of my being. I strive to ensure that learners across all levels have the chance to achieve their goals. From my work in social services to my role in higher education, I believe learning is a human right. Through effective course design and implementation, my mission is to empower learners across all levels to reach their aspirations.
Education
I earned a degree in psychology with the desire to support adults and children who were experiencing the pain of homelessness. My work in this field led to teaching high school equivalency subjects to adults. I absolutely fell in love with this work. After several years I became interested in pursuing my advanced degrees and began working at The University of Delaware where I earned my Master's and Doctorate degrees. As an educational technologist and learning advocate, I have been fortunate to experience the most rewarding work with incredibly committed people!
Personal
In my personal life, I take immense pride in my two remarkable adult children for their exceptional work and accomplishments. Additionally, my partner and I have embarked on the restoration of a 40-year-old sailboat, setting our sights on exploring the waterways of Jacksonville and beyond! In May of 2023 with our niece, we navigated through the Intracoastal Waterway from Tavernier, Florida.
