About
For more than twenty years, I’ve worked at the intersection of instructional design, educational technology, and institutional change. My career has taken me across the United States, East Africa, and the Gulf, often into environments where digital learning systems were still being built from the ground up.
Much of my work has involved creating e-learning capacity, strengthening faculty confidence with technology, and designing digital learning ecosystems that respond to real institutional problems. While my academic background is in instructional design and educational technology, I’ve increasingly come to see the work as larger than either field: it is about understanding how people, systems, technologies, and institutional priorities fit together.
That means seeing both the forest and the trees. Technology matters, but only when it serves a meaningful purpose. I believe effective learning systems begin with people, and that empathy, context, and thoughtful design should come before platforms and tools.
That perspective also informs my research. In 2026, I published Applying the ARCS Model to Foster Belonging and Confidence During Emergency Remote Learning: A Case Study from Rwanda , examining how instructional design can support students not only academically, but also socially and emotionally during periods of disruption.
