About

As an Instructional Designer at Idaho State University, I work with faculty to design engaging, clear, and accessible online courses that improve outcomes for every learner. I’m enthusiastic about open educational resources (OERs) and open pedagogical approaches. I help people understand complex ideas and systems, embrace curiosity, and explore new alternatives.

I’m also a student in Idaho State University’s Ph.D. in English and the Teaching of English program, which emphasizes pedagogy more than most English literature programs. I serve as the Web Editor for In the Library with the Lead Pipe, an open access, open peer reviewed library journal.

Among other places, you can find me on Mastodon at the HCommons.social instance and less frequently at the Scholar.social instance.
