ABOUT ME

  • My background is in teaching (higher education/medical education contexts), instructional design, simulation, acting, directing, training, administration, and leadership.

  • My passion is to connect learners from all walks of life with authentic, immersive learning experiences, including live person simulation. 

  • Through creativity, scholarship, and focused study, I implement instructional best practices into my classroom to bring to life what I learn as a doctoral student.
