Bio:
I am currently the Associate CTLE Director, Teaching & Learning Technologies at Dominican University in River Forest, IL. I provide faculty with workshops on Canvas as well as one-on-one assistance, video overviews, help with online instruction, etc. I have a Master's in both Library & Information Science as well as Computer Information Systems. I started out as a librarian, so that may account for why I'm happy to help others in the Community addressing various issues; that good ol' service attitude goes with the territory of once being a librarian!
I have lived in the state of Illinois my entire life.
