As Manager for the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), I support faculty in creating inclusive, innovative, and accessible learning experiences. I lead faculty development workshops on instructional design and technology, inclusive pedagogy, and generative AI for education, and oversee Brightspace content management and training resources.
I began my career as a registered dietitian and nutritional educator before transitioning into public education, where I taught for nine years as a certified Family and Consumer Science and Pre-K–3 teacher. In higher education, I have specialized in instructional design, LMS administration, and online course development, with experience at both community colleges and large public universities. I hold an M.A. in Instructional Technology from Stockton University and dual B.S. degrees in Textile Development and Marketing (FIT) and Applied Nutrition (Penn State). I am currently pursuing a doctorate in education at Rutgers University.
Outside of my work at the CTE, I teach a Sustainable Fashion course that I designed for Stockton and Rutgers, and I enjoy exploring how technology can make education more equitable and engaging.
