I am an Instructional Technology Specialist focused on accessibility at Pellissippi State Community College, and a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville's Instructional Design and Technology program. I love to bring my expertise in teaching and learning to design, develop, implement, and evaluate high-quality, high-impact learning environments and experiences.

I strive to create and help other instructors create learner-centered learning experiences for all--using Universal Design for Learning principles, ensuring accessibility, promoting open pedagogy, and encouraging self-regulation, motivation, and growth mindset to enhance lifelong learning through design.

​

My interests are:

• Accessibility/UDL (universal design for learning) 

• OER (open educational resources)

• COIL (collaborative online international learning) and VE (virtual exchange)

• Online social annotation 

• Community of Inquiry 

• Backward design

• Creating learning experiences via H5P

• Microcredentials/Badges 

• AR and VR technologies 

• Metaverse-esque learning environments
