I develop instructional materials as a teacher and trainer who designs and delivers curriculum for use online and in classroom settings.
Bringing technology to the classroom has little impact if devices are used simply as replacements for traditional curriculum. I aim to empower teachers to think differently about the learning environment.
Learning is inherently social, so as a teacher I design collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and project-based learning experiences, even in eLearning environments.

Edit scholarly manuscripts, many of which require familiarity with Greek, Latin, and German. Work with editors and authors to move manuscripts from submission and acceptance to publication. Review manuscripts to ensure text is well written and logically structured; correct grammar and spelling errors; ensure manuscripts conform to appropriate style guidelines; fact check and raise queries with authors. Proofread typeset manuscripts: ensure that typesetting styles are consistently applied, that the copy edit is thorough, and that mistakes are not introduced during the editorial process.
