I'm currently an Instructional Consultant with the Center for Faculty Excellence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I earned my Master of Science in Information degree with a specialization in library and information services from the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry with an undergraduate minor in mathematics from the University at Buffalo-SUNY. I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Washington, The Ohio State University, and the UNC-CH School of Information and Library Science (SILS), where I was recognized with the SILS Outstanding Teacher Award in 2011. Across all the institutions where I have worked as an education developer--the University of Washington, Virginia Commonwealth University, and The Ohio State University--I have consulted with hundreds of faculty members and graduate students interested in enhancing teaching and learning within their disciplines. My present work with faculty members generally revolves around digital scholarship and pedagogy, metaliteracy, and professional education at UNC-CH. I also have longstanding interests in education for reflective practice, learning space design, fair use and licensing of educational materials, and scholarly communication strategies.
