Bio:
I’ve served in technologist roles in educational settings for the last 35 years. As Director of Academic Technologies I oversee all classroom technology implementations and faculty support. In 2012, we transitioned from three different learning management systems to Canvas. I was responsible for the content migration and supervising the continuing help desk support. I continue to be the primary admin and trainer for faculty, students, and staff and lead classroom and one on one sessions.
