I am an academic practitioner specializing in instructional design, information science, and online teaching pedagogy. My enthusiasm lies in establishing content-rich environments that prioritize learners, fostering impactful interactions with the curriculum. I also investigate technology adoption across various educational settings, proficient course structuring and delivery, and the integration of quality assurance benchmarks in online teaching. With a commitment to sharing knowledge widely, I strive to present research in an accessible and applicable manner for all educators. Furthermore, my extensive teaching background spanning over 12 years has allowed me to continuously improve my teaching methods. I am dedicated to supporting learners in shaping novel life experiences and working towards becoming lifelong professionals.
Before I started working as a professional educator, I held various roles within the information technology profession.
