Expertise

I am an educational innovator with more than 20 years of experience across the K–20 spectrum, specializing in technology integration, instructional design, and AI-enhanced learning. I currently lead strategic initiatives at Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Human Medicine, advancing innovation in instructional technology, artificial intelligence, and faculty development.

My work centers on designing high-impact learning experiences, leveraging AI to improve educational outcomes, and providing expert consulting and professional development to support effective, scalable technology adoption.

Deeply committed to the future of education, I build cross-campus collaborations, facilitate research partnerships, and develop innovation networks focused on technology-enabled teaching excellence and systemic educational transformation.

Beyond my professional roles, I have a longstanding passion for creativity - piano, special effects makeup, and vintage computer restoration. In fact, I have been practicing makeup design longer than I’ve been an educator!

If you’re exploring opportunities for collaboration, research, or forward-thinking innovation, I would welcome the conversation. Let’s connect.
