About Me

Welcome to my portfolio site! I’m an online education specialist, librarian, and amateur website designer who is passionate about the intersection of technology and learning.  As a Director of Online Instruction for a seminary, I believe that all educators, regardless of their perceived ability to use technology, can leverage technology to increase student learning.  There are many many free and easy-to-use technologies that can help educators create quality online learning experiences, of which I'm an evangelist! 

As someone who has been employed in various capacities in higher education, I bring to the table a knowledge of how parts fits together.  I love finding creative solutions to our common problems.  I am a perpetual student and someone who continually seeks improvement.  I have gained a lot of knowledge about distance library services, educational technology, and web and graphic design through work experience, formal or independent study, and having a number of side ‘gigs’.  I have grouped the pages of this site around these three areas so that you can get a better idea of what I have done.
