Expertise

I am an educational innovator with over 20 years of experience K-20 specializing in technology integration, instructional design, and AI-enhanced learning. Currently, I lead strategic projects at Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and College of Human Medicine, driving forward innovation in instructional technology, AI applications, and faculty development.

I specialize in instructional design, teaching, harnessing artificial intelligence to enhance educational outcomes, and providing targeted consulting and professional development to support effective technology integration.

Deeply passionate about advancing medical education, I lead cross-campus initiatives, facilitate research collaborations, and develop innovation networks focused on technology-enabled teaching excellence and educational transformation.

I am always eager to discuss opportunities for collaboration or innovation in education, let’s connect!
