ABOUT ME

With a background in acting, directing, training, administration, and leadership, my passion as a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator is to bring authentic, immersive learning experiences to diverse learners through live person simulation.  

Instructional design, development, and evaluation (IDD&E) combines educational theory with instructional methods to maximize learning.  

My vision is to synthesize these two fields through creativity, scholarship, and focused study.
