Resume

Currently, I work full-time as an Instructional Designer at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, assisting faculty and students with integrating instructional technologies into their classroom. Earlier this year I finished my Ed.M. at Teachers College at Columbia University in Instructional Technology and Media. My particular academic interests include emerging technologies that explore and facilitate innovative yet effective learning spaces, situated learning and collaborative learning communities such as multiuser virtual environments and worlds. Design of these environments, integration into the curriculum, and assessment of learning outcomes in these spaces is an important part of my work.

To relax and have fun, I love to pursue creative projects such as painting, scultping, creating books and drawing. The pictures you see in the header of this blog are photos of work I have done.
