Leadership
Adjunct Professor – Educational Technology in Practice
As an adjunct professor, I facilitate a junior/senior-level course focused on technology integration in education, equipping future educators and leaders with the tools and critical lens necessary to apply digital solutions meaningfully. This role allowed me to mentor emerging professionals, contribute to institutional learning goals, and stay grounded in the evolving intersection of pedagogy and technology. My work emphasized culturally responsive tech practices, equity in access, and the strategic use of innovation to enhance teaching and learning outcomes. Serving in this capacity reflects my commitment to both academic leadership and the broader mission of empowering the next generation of educators. For further insight into my instructional design and delivery, see my Lecture Page, which includes selected lectures and course materials
