Bio:
Hi! I'm an Instructional Designer in the Educational Technology Services Department at Messiah University. In my role I provide leadership and support for the development of innovative and effective teaching and learning practices using information technology. I collaborate with faculty and staff on pedagogical and instructional design issues related to technology in support of web-enhanced and multimedia-enhanced courses in face to face, fully online and hybrid environments. My goal is to use technology to create effective, student-centered experiences.
